Last updated: November 2026

Good character (adab)

Speak to others the way you would want to be spoken to.

  • Disagree with ideas, not with people. Differences of opinion between schools of thought are respected.
  • No insults, mockery, name-calling or takfir of other users.
  • Do not harass, threaten or single out anyone, on or off the platform.

Religious content with care

Religious knowledge is a trust. Share it with honesty and with sources.

  • Cite your sources (Qur’an, hadith with grading, scholars) when you make religious claims.
  • Do not present opinions as rulings, and do not attribute words to scholars that they did not say.
  • Do not claim a scholarly title or a verification you do not have.

Not allowed

The following is removed, and may lead to the account being suspended:

  • Hate speech or incitement against any people because of religion, sect, ethnicity, nationality or gender.
  • Violent extremism: promoting, praising or recruiting for terrorist groups or violence.
  • Sexual or indecent content, and any content that sexualises or endangers children.
  • Graphic violence shown to shock, or content that encourages self-harm.
  • Spam, scams, fake giveaways, misleading links and fraudulent fundraising.
  • Impersonating a person, a scholar, a channel or an organisation.
  • Sharing someone’s private information without consent.
  • Content you do not have the rights to share.

Comments and community posts

Keep discussions on topic and beneficial.

  • No repeated, copy-pasted or promotional comments.
  • Creators can remove comments on their own videos and posts.

For creators

Titles, thumbnails and descriptions must match what the video contains.

  • Mark videos for children correctly and keep them suitable for children.
  • Music and other content follow the same rules as everything else on the platform.

How we enforce these guidelines

Moderators review reported content. Automated tools may help us find content that breaks these guidelines, and people make the final decisions.

  • Content that breaks the guidelines is hidden or removed.
  • Serious or repeated violations can lead to a channel or account being suspended.
  • Content that puts someone in immediate danger, or harms children, is reported to the authorities where the law requires it.

Reporting

If you see something that breaks these guidelines, use the Report button on the video, comment or post. Reports are confidential: the person you report is not told who reported them.
