What is the ruling on profits generated from a YouTube channel that features natural sounds and video clips for the purpose of mental relaxation?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the channel displays permissible sights and sounds, such as the sounds of rain and images of trees, and is free from forbidden content, then earning money from it is permissible. As for earnings from advertisements, their ruling depends on the ruling of the advertisements themselves; if they are permissible, then earning from them is permissible, and if they are forbidden, then earning from them is forbidden.
