Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to make one of the websites a homepage in the internet browser to support it financially and morally, whether for free or for a fee, provided that the content and advertisements of the website are free from any prohibitions. It is forbidden to do so if the website promotes disobedience or contains forbidden things, such as prohibited entertainment venues or usurious banks. If the support is for a fee, it is stipulated that the fee must be known.
