Question 820

Assalammualaikum
I would like to know, from your point of view, does the Internet bring any benefits to the Islamic society in terms of spreading information to the user???
Thank You.

Answer

Praise be to Allah.

All Praises Are Due to Allah.

The answer to your question is in what you see and not in what you hear. I don't think the issue needs to be addressed; however, your question must be regarding the negative and unlawful things found on the Internet, and not the positive aspects as they are clearly evident. There are in fact many down sides in the Internet, which contain great evil and this is what pushes one to think of the necessary ways to fix the ills on the Internet. It is the obligation of the experts from amongst the Muslims to work on this issue.
