What is the ruling on creating websites that display illustrated stories, which may include disbelief, for the purpose of entertainment and not belief?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to create a website that displays permissible illustrated stories for entertainment if it will also include stories containing disbelief (kufr), because that constitutes aiding in sin and aggression. It is not correct to say that readers do not read disbelief with the intention of following it, for disbelief is forbidden to disseminate, and some may be influenced by it. The harm of disbelief cannot be weighed against the benefit of entertaining stories.
