Innovations and the Islamic view


From products to social media and video games, the Mufti of the Federal Territories provides answers to questions posed by Muslims in Malaysia on the use of technology, explaining why some aspects are forbidden in Islam. — 123rf.com

Is buying an Android TV box haram? What does the Mufti office think about the trends on TikTok? Is it forbidden in Islam to open loot boxes in video games like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile? Is the “buy now, pay later” scheme condoned by Islam?
