There is a universally accepted principle of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence):
Translation: Affairs are with their aims. (Al Ashba Wan Nadhaair, Pg. No. 22)
In whatever way these things are used for good and permissible things in the society, at a much faster rate than that, they are being used to promote indecency and moral degeneracy in the society. Through this lewd literature is being promoted. Indecency and nudity are being spread. Vulgarity has become rampant in the society. Modesty does not seem to have any place in the electronic media at all.
The adage is that the world has become a global village. This is no doubt true, but the big question is to what extent our society has drawn benefit from it. Through this, western culture has been spread effectively. Even among those people who were not touched by this, the electronic media has vitiated their atmosphere.
There has been much harm because of indiscriminate use of internet and using it against the principles of the Shariah. Culture and society both have been marred. The moral standard of the society has been lowered considerably and the minds have been polluted.
