Based on a recent fatwa, the use of TikTok is considered impermissible (haram) in Islam.
The fatwa, as reported by Dawn News TV on 24-Dec-2023, indicates that the nature of TikTok makes it nearly impossible to avoid engaging in activities deemed sinful under Sharia law.
Here's a breakdown of the key reason:
- Inevitability of Sin: The fatwa highlights that using TikTok often leads to encounters with content or engagement that is considered sinful within Islamic guidelines. This includes exposure to inappropriate videos, music, and interactions.
Therefore, due to the high risk of transgressions, the conclusion of the fatwa is that using TikTok is not permissible.
