What is the ruling on publishing da'wah videos from YouTube that have indecent clips appearing at the bottom?
The YouTube platform contains both beneficial and harmful content. If it is possible to utilize it for spreading Da'wah (Islamic propagation) and good without encountering fitnah (temptation/strife), then this is a praiseworthy endeavor. However, if this is not possible, then seek another means to spread good without falling into what is prohibited. This is because the fundamental principle is the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Therefore, try to download beneficial videos from YouTube to your device and then send them to your friends to safeguard yourself from corrupting influences. If this is not feasible, then look for other websites that are free from evil.
