Business Question: Youtube earning

salaam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Is IFG earning from Adsense from youtube? Is it halal to earn from it?

Wasalam

May Allah bless you.

Advertising in itself is not haram. It will be haram if the content of the advert contains haram element such as nudity etc or, if the product which is being promoted is haram such as alcohol etc.
In the case of Adsense, you have control over the type of ads you want to be displayed or not. Therefore, it is your responsibility to chose those that do not contravene the shariah.

And Allah knows best!

Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatu shaykh,

I know youtube has certain filters that help in preventing ads promoting haram things, but we cant completely control it. For example, even an ad for something neutral like a car will have music in it or women without hijab. Does it make it halal because we don’t have control to that point? Another thing to consider is i believe many of the ads that are shown on your youtube video or a result of the viewers own interests and internet patterns.

JazakAllah khair shaykh
