In the name of God, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ | Peace be with you السلام عليكم
(Watch Yusuf Estes video response)
Social Networking has become a hugely successful and developing source of connecting with others around the planet. Just as in 'reality', Muslims are advised to carry an ethical code of conduct online to avoid tension, awkwardness and misunderstanding. Facebook, Twitter, Myspace and others are tools for us, while others will inevitably exploit it perversely.

Before the Fatwah's Anonymous hijacks us though, we ask for your personal opinion:
- Is every online network categorised halal (permitted) or haram (forbidden) in Islam?
- Can Muslim children, teens and adults use these websites with etiquette?
- Should users put up pictures and images, bait for other eyes?
- Is posting Quran links useful on these sites?
- What about searching for marriage? Music? Meeting online?
- What have you heard scholars say about the latest networking service?
American convert to Islam, Yusuf Estes, gives us the balanced answer in simple terms. He tells us...
...Islam is based on simple principles and we should not go to extremes. We agree.
