Is the circulation of a da'wah clip that includes lies and jokes on the part of the speaker considered an invitation to misguidance, despite the quality of the lecture?
It is not permissible to adopt jesting and buffoonery as a method of da'wah (inviting to Islam). This is an innovated method that includes things that strip the gathering of its solemnity and reverence, such as: imitating the voices of singers, mimicking women's voices, mentioning the terms used by transgressors, acting out the actions and voices of those mentioned in the story, and striving to make the attendees laugh by all means. This may lead to the narration of weak hadiths and false stories.
One must return to the guidance of the Quran and , and emulate the Companions, the Tabi'in, and the imams of guidance.
If the clip contains impermissible jesting, such as lying or mockery, then it is not permissible to publish it. Rather, clips of trustworthy callers to Islam who possess sound religious knowledge should be published.
