What is the ruling on reading the story of a girl who writes letters to God?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to read and narrate stories that are presented as real, for the sake of drawing lessons. This also applies if they are not real, provided that this is clarified by the one narrating them. It is permissible to read and mention what is not certainly false, for the purpose of entertainment, and what does not exist in reality, if the intention is to give examples, admonitions, and teach virtues, whether through human or animal characters, as long as this is not hidden from the reader. It is more befitting for a Muslim to utilize their time in what benefits them, avoid lying, and strive for truthfulness.
