The answer

It is by Allah's grace that He has subjected the universe for His worship. Computers and the internet can be used for conveying the message of Islam, which aligns with the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "This matter (Islam) will reach wherever night and day reach..." Some callers to Islam have used the "Paltalk" program for Da'wah and for debating atheists and Christians, while observing certain guidelines and precautions. These include: not expanding excessively in conversation with women (it is preferred for women to be admonished by women like themselves), ensuring that the Da'ee (caller to Islam) is qualified to debate atheists and Christians in order to expose their fallacies, and ensuring that discussions do not conflict with the performance of obligatory duties such as prayers. It is advisable to be diligent in seeking beneficial knowledge and practicing Da'wah with close relatives before others, and not to overindulge in the use of computers and the internet.
