Earning Money from YouTube
Question: If someone earns money from YouTube, how much of that income is halal?
Answer: If the content on YouTube is religious, educational, or about any other halal subject, and it does not contain anything against Shariah, the income may be halal. However, YouTube shows many advertisements, and not all of the businesses advertised are halal. For this reason, pious people may avoid taking income from YouTube even when they produce good content. If the income comes from promoting content that goes against Shariah, contains impermissible matters, or involves sinful activities, then that income will not be halal.
