How can the Muslim Ummah keep pace with technological and economic developments while many common practices containing forbidden elements are prohibited, and do you follow a strict methodology in your fatwas without presenting all the legitimate legal perspectives, and what is the duty of a Muslim if he is surrounded by these forbidden things?

The website issues fatwas according to the requirements of the Qur’an, Sunnah, consensus, and analogical reasoning, and chooses the strongest evidence when there is a contradiction. Keeping pace with developments does not necessitate committing forbidden acts such as music, immoral TV series, and software piracy. These are moral regressions and an imitation of others. A Muslim is required to avoid forbidden acts to the best of their ability, "Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity," "So fear Allah as much as you are able," and "He has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty." The Sharia is built upon ease.
