What is the ruling on watching obscene videos on a device that contains something from the Quran or the remembrance of Allah in its memory?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to store the Quran and the remembrance of Allah Almighty in a phone's memory, and listening to it is commendable. However, using the phone to watch what is impermissible is a bad and impermissible act, and one must hasten to erase these things; because their presence alongside the Quran and the remembrance of Allah in the phone's memory is something that believers are averse to, for they hold them in high esteem.
