Question :
A brother have asked about the ruling on hearing some religious advices and medical advices on “YouTube”.
Answer :
الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه وبعد
Allah say’s :
Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah). – Al Isra – 36
And Allah say’s :
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. – An-Nur – 30
And the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) was asked about the accidental sight (to prohibited things), then he told “Turn your sight away”. [Abu Dawud – 2150]
And the “YouTube”, it was mentioned to me by some righteous and trust-worthy brothers that, “The YouTube is worst than the television because of the lot of evil in it and because who ever enter into it can select what ever video clip that he wants.
Because of this, a wise person who is firm upon the deen will not have any doubt that this “YouTube” is more dangerous and more evil and have more (evil) pictures in it and more vulgar than the Television and the Dish from which every believer stays away to save his Deen, purity of his heart and to protect his private parts and to lighten his record of sins and to protect his record of good deeds. And every evil that is present in Television present in “You Tube”.”
So I advise every Muslim and Muslimah to stay away from this evil and keep their family away from that and to monitor them (from not using this) as they will be asked and hold responsible (for fulfilling their guardianship). And this evil is from the (cunning) steps of Shaytaan. A person who is watching the good in it is not safe from the sight into prohibited things and vulgar. And it is enough that when a person opens it, it keeps the Angels away from his house due to presence of lot of pictures in it.
And a good deed result’s a person to do another good deed and the evil deed result’s another bad deed.
And this evil and similar to that, are not introduced except to turn the Muslims away from the book and Allah and the Sunnah of his Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and understanding of the Deen and to take the Muslim towards the Sins which takes away the Barakah of the Knowledge, his Deen, his Dunya and which prevent them to earn Halal earnings and enjoyment of tasting the Halal.
So, Oh Righteous people, Realize and Be careful.
We ask Allah to save us and our children and our brothers and protect us from all the trails which are apparent and which are hidden.

The original answer :
حكم اليوتيوب
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
سائل سأل عن حكم اليوتيوب وسماع بعض النصائح الدينية والطبية منه؟
الحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله وعلى آله وصحبه وبعد فيقول الله تعالى:(( إن السمع والبصر والفؤاد كل أولئك كان عنه مسئولا)) .
ويقول تعالى:((قل للمؤمنين يغضوا من أبصارهم ويحفظوا فروجهم ذلك أزكى لهم)). وسئل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن نظر الفجأة فقال:” اصرف بصرك“.
واليوتيوب كما أخبرنا بعض الصالحين الثقات أن اليوتيوب أخبث من التلفاز لكثرة شره ولأنه يختار من دخله أي الأفلام والمقاطع شاء.
وعلى هذا فلا يشك عاقل عنده دين متين أنه أخطر واخبث وأكثر صورا وشناعة من التلفاز والدش التي يتنزه عنها المؤمن حرصا على دينه وسلامة لقلبه وتحصينا لفرجه وتخفيفا لصحيفة سيئاته وسلامة لحسناته.
وكل مفاسد التلفاز موجودة فيه.
فانصح كل مسلم ومسلمة أن يتجنبوا هذا البلاء ويجنبوا اهليهم ويراقبوهم فإنهم مسئولون عنهم وهذا الشر من خطوات الشيطان لا يسلم الناظر في خيره إن وجد من النظر إلى حرام والخنا. ويكفي أن فاتحه يطرد الملائكة من بيته لوجود الصور الكثيرة فيه.
والحسنة تجر إلى الحسنة والسيئة تجر إلى مثلها.
وهذا الشر وأمثاله ما وضع إلا ليصرف أهل الإسلام من كتاب الله وسنة رسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم والفقه في دينه إلى هذه المعاصي التي تذهب بركة العلم والدين والدنيا وتحرم العبد الرزق الحلال ولذة الحلال.
فتنبهوا يا أهل الخير.
نسأل الله أن يسلمنا وابنائنا واخواننا ويعيذنا من الفتن ما ظهر منها وما بطن.
