What is the ruling on creating a website for uploading videos, and what is the responsibility of the website owner and management?
Establishing a website for uploading videos is permissible if it is restricted to what is lawful. However, since most circulating videos contain unlawful content, the website owner must ensure their ability to control it, so as to prevent and reject any forbidden content such as deviant doctrines, unlawful scenes, or music. But if the website owner knows or strongly believes that users will publish unlawful content and that they will not be able to prevent them, then it is not permissible for them to establish it in the first place. The website owner is the primary and direct person responsible for it, as is the administration if it is under their purview.
