Writing fiction stories
Question: 4505
My question is, is writing Islamic based fictional stories which are meant for da’wah, islaahi and creating awareness among the Ummah, especially
the youth, by using the imagination, sinful in Islam?
In other words is it sinful to imagine words, ideas and situations? And what’s the difference between folklore and this kind of modern writings?
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If it is made perfectly clear that this did not really happen, and that
the story is being told just to give an example, then there is nothing wrong with that,
but one should be careful to ensure that the style, contents and goal are beneficial and
that the story helps to explain something about Islam and serves as a effective means of
teaching and guiding people. We ask Allaah to grant you strength
