It is permissible to profit from YouTube videos that contain cartoon images and written commentaries, provided that the videos are free of forbidden elements such as music, provocative images, and deviant beliefs, and that the accompanying advertisements do not promote prohibited products. It is better to utilize this channel for spreading useful Islamic information and concepts with the help of students of knowledge, so that you may contribute to protecting Muslim youth from deviance.
