The council highlighted the potential of social media to promote Islamic knowledge, education, and constructive dialogue. “Muslims must follow Islamic teachings, using social media for promoting Islamic knowledge, education, and training,” the statement said. It also urged users to avoid activities like defamation, sectarianism, and spreading unrest or unlawful content online.

The CII supported the government’s efforts to register VPNs, urging citizens to use only registered networks to ensure compliance with regulations. It stressed that the government has a duty to facilitate legitimate social media use while curbing its misuse.

“The government should take steps to prevent the use of social media for illicit purposes. Simply banning modern media is not the solution to the problems,” the council noted, encouraging a balanced approach to regulation.
