Summary
This explanatory article first defines content creators and social media content, then cites the hadith of the Abyssinians playing with spears in the mosque during the Prophet's time. The hadith is used as a basis that certain activities and entertainment permitted by Islamic law may take place in a mosque. Scholars such as al-Muhallab and al-Nawawi are cited as allowing matters that benefit religion and the community. The activity took place at a suitable time and did not disrupt worship or the mosque's main function.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Aktiviti dan hiburan tersebut bukanlah perkara yang tercela kerana ia diharuskan oleh syarak.
