What is the ruling on dedicating a section in a forum for satirical literature, and is it permissible to open it for fear of falling into what is forbidden, unlawful, or doubtful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the قسم (department/section) ridicules Muslims, it is not permissible to agree to it, due to the Almighty's saying: "O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps they may be better than them." However, if it is humor devoid of lies and ridicule, then its permissibility is apparent, especially if it draws attention to an error or a negative phenomenon. It is better to harness pens to serve the religion, uphold the , and encourage noble character.
