Question

Is there any harm or sin if one advertises his products on social media?

Answer

It will be permissible to utilize the advertising service with the proviso that one does not attach any pictures or musical background to the advertisements. It should be a simple straight forward ad with the details attached such as the price of the items, etc.

Ask Ibn Masood

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Ifta Ibn Masood. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
