Independently studying Hadith compilation

3 years ago By user2

Q: Recently I have been doing a lot of research on hadith compilation as a result I was introduced to a new subject in Islamic history. Honestly this is something very new for me, I didn’t know that there existed so many different schools of thought like Murijites, Khawarijites, Mutazilites and the Ahle Sunnah who are in modern times also identified as the Orthodox or Traditionalists. Furthermore if I am not wrong, each school was declaring the other group as kafirs because of competing viewpoints.

Can one group consider the other to be out of the fold of Islam? 

Listening to recordings or watching videos containing kufr

Q: The questions are mainly how videos and recordings are regarded. I am from the Hanafi Madhab.

1. What is the ruling about listening to a recording which contains kufr? For example, I use a video blocker on YouTube and listen to recordings about various things whose topic is halaal. However, sometimes/maybe a lot of the participants of the discussion say things which are kufr or sin.

2. Is watching them supporting them, because of increasing the clicks or like watching a movie about only kufr or listening to a song with kufr? What if the channel has videos about haraam or kufr contents and has a video description with false things? What if the video description has symbols like the symbol of LGBTQ...? 

3. What is the ruling of loading a pdf or a news website with kufr?
