Using Media for Giving Da`wah

The use of media has become one of the most successful and
beneficial means of communication in this age. This is due to its
popularity and it being a weapon with two edges.

If the media, such as radio, newspapers and television, are used for
giving da`wah, and for guiding people to Allaah and what the Prophet
Muhammad has brought, then this is a great thing which can benefit the
Ummah wherever they are, by the permission of Allaah. This can also
benefit the non-Muslims in helping them to understand Islaam and
comprehend it, learn about its merits and know that it is the path to
success in this world and in the Hereafter.
Ibn Baz’s Fatwa

It is obligatory for the daa`ees, as well as for
the Muslim rulers to contribute in giving
da`wah in every way they can, through the
use of radio, newspaper, television and in
speeches giving in gatherings on Jum`ah
(Friday) as well as on other days. They should
also use other means which enable the
people to hear the truth, in all the languages
used by the people, so that da`wah and
advice can reach them wherever they are in
the world, in their own languages.
