Question

I have created a YouTube channel for my business purpose where I will promote Halal Businesses. I have a video where a non-muslim woman is teaching something about her business and she is wearing a t-shirt and her elbow to wrist is visible. The objective of the video is just to teach. Can I promote this video?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

What is impermissible to do is also impermissible to facilitate or promote.

Almighty Allah says,

وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ

Translation“And do not assist one another in sin” (Maaidah, – 2)

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
