Egyptian Fatwa Official Addresses Earnings From Quran Videos Online

Dr Mahmoud Shalaby, a fatwa secretary at Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta, has addressed a question about the religious permissibility of earning money from Quran videos posted online.

The question concerned content shared on platforms such as YouTube and TikTok, where users may seek to generate income from their posts.

It also covered earnings from publishing nasheeds, or religious chants, extending the inquiry beyond Quran recitations to other forms of religious content.

The available summary did not include Shalaby’s answer or specify whether he outlined conditions for permissible earnings. It therefore does not establish his ruling on the practice.
