Applying the principles of Hadith in tackling Fake News.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Fake news has become a major phenomenon in current times. We are in an era where news spreads almost instantaneously and oftentimes, we do not feel the need to verify its authenticity before spreading it. This has caused a lot of falsehood to be spread rapidly and traps those who are gullible enough to believe it. It then incites hatred amongst people after believing a news source that may be untrue to begin with.
With the recent pandemic, there is an abundance of fake news on social media and has caused huge stirs amongst people. Some start to believe news that suits their biases without proper fact checking its authenticity. With this happening rampantly, action must be taken to combat this problem.
