We have seen the going craze of TikTok, a new app that is catching the minds of many youngsters these days. We have collected a few points on why TikTok is Haram or against Islam.
TikTok is all about Dancing
This app focuses on Dancing and Music, which are both not permissible in Islam. Millions of girls dancing and singing on social media have seen their videos worldwide; those people watching them are not mahram.
It is addicting
Anything that makes you an addict is a bad thing. And indeed, this is worse for a human being to be addicted to something which would be destructive for them sooner or later. Many people lose their lives while making TikTok videos, especially in Pakistan, India, and other Asian countries.
This can make your depressed or isolated
Indeed TikTok gives you temporary fame, and when the fame goes away, a person is more likely to feel isolated and do all sorts of stuff to get people’s attention. And we have seen some people going nuts to bring fame to get a few likes on the app.

Sadly we see Boys dressing up as Girls to dance, and girls are trying to be boys, which leads to another way which you know what we mean!
What does Islam say about TikTok?
As per Islamic studies, whatever happens on TikTok is strictly against Islamic teachings. In Islam, The basis of TikTok is based on Dancing, Acting, and Music, while Dancing of Girls in front of millions of unknown boys and singing is strictly Haram.
Hence, after this, we can say that TikTok is Haram in Islam, and there is no way a Muslim can defend this app.

Yah that’s fine, I did not make tiktok anyway. But I have one question that if I make a YouTube channel where I post tiktok funny videos ( other people videos ) is it ok to make money from Youtube by this tiktok videos
Yes that’s fine, but refrain from posting videos that goes against Islam (such as Dancing girls or any other thing that isn’t allowed in Islam). Normal videos to make people laugh is just fine.
And refrain from posting videos that the awrah is exposed, it’s apply on men or women.
Be aware of helping in spreading tabarruj (wanton display) and causing people to look at haraam things.
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty” [al-Maa’idah 5:2].
yeah as long its ok for your religion
Asalam alaikum, I recently deleted my TikTok account because I used music in my videos and I’m now aware that it is haram. Is it still haram if I make a new account & post videos ( but I will not add music, dancing, lip syncing, etc. )
Don’t think so…

its not haram if u dont do the deed for example you can see life learning goals but not all ladies and men dancing if your iman you wont be depressed
I do not feel that the app is haram, it is the specific people on the app doing haram things. Tik Tok is not all about dancing. There are jokes, and cooking, and life hacks., and many many more things. There is even many who talk about Islam on the app. There are many who don’t do haram things. So you shouldn’t say the app is haram. As long as you don’t promote (like and share) the haram dancing or singing videos, your fine. If this is the case you could say this about many app, such as Instagram, Snapchat, and even Whatsapp. People can send and post videos of dancing and singhing on those apps a well but it doesnt make the WHOLE app haram. It’s just haram for the people posting, liking and sharing those videos.
Am I allowed to post funny videos but not dancing ones with music?
Yes.
Is it allowed for a hijabi to post funny videos that do not involve any haram humor and also promote islamic knowledge?. examples are- muslimthicc and huummiiii
which sumaiyya are u
Is it also haram if I do hijab tutorials, singing islamic song in tiktok?
No, it is not.
i just wanna ask that is it okay to dance only to the tik tok dances alone without posting them.

You will get an answer to it soon, InshaAllah.
Assalam u alaikum. My little brother, little sister and my mother, they all have Tik Tok and they love it so much. I don’t have Tik Tok and I hate it. As soon as I read this article, I tried to explain this to my mother and siblings and I explained that there is all this haram stuff, including a boy killing his neighbor just to be Tik Tok famous. They said that I was wrong and they started defending the app. When I explained this to my father, he said he didn’t care and they can have it if they want. I don’t know what to do. Inshaallah, please someone find a solution for me. Thank you and may Allah bless everyone.
If possible, please share this on our forums so people can reply.
i dont think it is haram unless you are a scholar who knows for sure, it really depends on what you are doing and what you are watching, if you are watching islamic things on the app then it is okay if not then dont but i cant say the app itself is haram or not, i think asking a trusting imam or scholar would be better.
i want to know, that can i make my tiktok video in my mahram?
Assalamualaikum
if we’re making tiktok without music so is it Haram
Wa alaikum assalam, Hareem Rashid. Thank you for your question. The topic of whether making TikTok is haram or not in Islam has been widely debated. The issue primarily revolves around the content shared on the platform rather than the platform itself.
In Islam, it is generally understood that music with inappropriate or explicit lyrics is prohibited. However, opinions may vary among scholars regarding music in general. Some scholars believe that all music is haram, while others allow certain types of music that are morally acceptable.
When it comes to TikTok, making videos without music does not necessarily make it haram. If the content shared on TikTok is halal, meaning it adheres to Islamic principles and does not promote anything forbidden in Islam, then making TikTok videos without music can be considered permissible.
However, it is essential to be cautious of the type of content you are engaging with and sharing on TikTok. It is crucial to avoid any content that goes against Islamic values, such as immodesty, indecency, or promoting harmful behaviors.
In order to make an informed decision, it is always advisable to seek guidance from a knowledgeable scholar who can provide you with a more detailed and specific answer based on your individual circumstances. May Allah guide us all in making choices that align with His teachings.
