Is browsing websites that display the word "Allah" (referring to God), while forbidden content is simultaneously visible on the screen, considered a degradation of the word "Allah," and is one who does so out of ignorance sinful?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Whoever browses forbidden content must close the page immediately and stop watching the forbidden things. The appearance of the word of Allah on the screen is not considered a desecration of it, and it might remind him of Allah, so he abandons his action. He must exit these pages whether the word of Allah appears or not.
