Question: FITNAH ?Prayer MESSAGES ON MOBILE PHONE
Respected Brothers;ASAK; frequently now and then we are getting SMS messages on our mobile phones like this- I think these are tricks of companies to get more money through SMS scaring people so that we give sms messages out of fear and this chain continues; why should a harm come to people for not sending this message it is not proved by hadith so far i know-the message reads as,
"Yah-Hayu Ya Qayum B_RehmatiKa azatagisu;send this mesasge to 11 people ,you will good news tomorrow,.i f you neglect bad luck for 11 years.this is proved truth."
Please comment on this in islamic perspective urgently;should we follow this message instructionsand send it to 11 people; &the mobile companies get benefit'or should we expect bad luck by not sending; please comment urgently
your brother in medinah;please reply with fatwas of scholars regarding
Dr Fiaz maqool Fazili Medinah munawarah

The SMS message is baseless. Just delete, and do not pass around.

And Allah knows Best
