Question

I am a 3rd year MBBS student and I really like reading fiction stories and sometimes I write fiction. I find it useful as it helps me improve my English. Reading stories is my hobby and I like it very much.

Is it haram to write fiction/madeup stories? Is it haram to write stories at all?

Answer

Try and avoid this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
