Q: I am a lady teacher and I have started a math YouTube channel. I am using a digital pen for teaching so my hands and face are not visible in my channel. People can only hear my voice in the video.
Is such a YouTube channel allowed and is the income permissible in Islam.
A: Shariah has commanded women to remain within the confines of their homes and not to leave their homes except for a valid need. The reason for shariah commanding women to remain within their homes is so that they do not have any contact with non-mahram males . In this lies safety and protection for their deen and respect.
Through you teaching on YouTube, your voice will be heard by non-mahram males. This goes against the dictates of purdah and opposes the fabric of hayaa and shame. Hence, we advise you not to teach via this channel.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
