Is learning Neuro-Linguistic Programming permissible if the learner has sound beliefs, provided that this knowledge is purified from whatever contradicts Islamic law and used for beneficial purposes?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has been previously explained. The reason for its prohibition is that it has corrupt philosophical and doctrinal roots. However, there is no objection to learning its beneficial aspects if a specialist purifies it from what necessitates its prohibition. And Allah knows best.
