Q: It is fast becoming a common trend for the English translation of Ahaadith to be circulated via social media eg. whatsapp etc. Recipients generally read these messages wherever they may be and in whatever state they may be in. Some examples of these are, the recipient may be in a mall shopping or driving or at the beach or whilst eating or in a social gathering etc. Often, recipients not being desirous of reading the hadith or may have received that hadith from ten other contacts, ends up just browsing through the hadith like any other unimportant chat. It appears that the respect of hadith is lost due to this type of circulation.

2) Will it be more appropriate to send a hadith to a specific person only upon the request of the recipient?
