Summary
This Bayan Linnas states that digital freedom is not absolute and is bound by responsibility, since the safety of young people must take priority in line with the maqasid of sharia. Violent content, hidden gambling, addiction and cybercrime risks to children are treated as threats to the preservation of life, intellect, religion, property and lineage. Harmful content should therefore be restrained, and parents must accompany, monitor media and app use, and guide their children.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kebebasan tidak boleh dianggap sebagai mutlak tetapi terikat dengan tanggungjawab (al-Masuliyah).
