What is the ruling on using the "Yalla Chat" website, which allows voice and video chat and group rooms that may contain inappropriate content, especially when the site is used to collect gold that is converted into real money, and is it permissible if the user does not enter offensive rooms?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible to enter chat rooms that contain objectionable content, nor is it permissible to enter merely to acquire gold, as this constitutes aiding in sin and promoting the website. This is in accordance with the Almighty's saying: ﴿And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression.﴾ Even if the chat room is free of objectionable content, it is not permissible to take gold if the matter is based on gambling. Furthermore, it is not permissible to use any means of deception to acquire this gold, such as opening multiple accounts or using hacking programs.
