The religious scholars at Jamia Binoria Town in Karachi have issued a fatwa denouncing the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, categorically declaring its use as “Haram” from a religious perspective.
The fatwa calls for a ban on the usage of the platform, citing concerns that TikTok is being exploited for financial gain through the proliferation of inappropriate content.
The religious decree emphasises that TikTok is predominantly used for engaging in illicit activities, such as sharing prohibited images, videos, and music, disseminating indecent content, and promoting inappropriate humor, among other violations.
The decree further notes that individuals of various age groups, including the youth and the elderly, engage in activities on TikTok to earn money, some of which may not align with strong moral values. It highlights the need to consider the potential negative impacts on individuals’ behavior and ethical values.
