Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
"Meme" is a term used to describe an idea or slogan that spreads rapidly online. It is permissible to use memes to convey a religious matter, such as da'wah (inviting to Islam) or advice, provided that one does not use images known for their lewdness, or video clips containing music or women. It is permissible to use anime images to convey a correct meaning, provided that they do not depict a cartoon character known for intellectual or moral deviance. There is no harm in creating cartoon clips for children to convey correct concepts, or in compiling existing images to create clips for both adults and children.
