Is it permissible to open a YouTube channel for the game (Fortnite) while fearing that the money earned might be unlawful or that time might be wasted?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to open a gaming channel and earn a livelihood from it if the games are free of prohibitions, such as corrupt beliefs, incitement to vice, gambling, nudity, or music, and if they do not lead to neglecting obligatory duties. However, it is more meritorious to engage in channels that benefit people in their religious or worldly affairs.
