Kamal el Mekki – Fiqh of Cell Phones

About this lecture

In this engaging and practical lecture, Sheikh Kamal El Mekki outlines the Islamic etiquettes of using a cell phone — from when to call, how many times, and how to greet, to the fiqh of ringtones, camera use, privacy, and spying. Drawing on Quranic verses, hadith, and memorable real-life stories, he reminds us that the phone is linked directly to the tongue — one of the most dangerous instruments a human being possesses — and that every blessing, including technology, carries a responsibility to use it in the obedience of Allah. The lecture also closes with a thought-provoking discussion on the potential physical health dangers of cell phone radiation.
