What is the ruling on profiting from a YouTube channel whose advertisements feature music?
It is permissible to profit from YouTube if the channel's content is permissible and the advertisements are permissible and free from শরীয়াহ prohibitions. However, profiting from impermissible advertisements is not allowed, and similarly, if the advertisements predominantly contain শরীয়াহ prohibitions and it is not possible to filter them. But if there are impermissible advertisements that are mandatory from YouTube, and the channel owner has no option to prevent them, this does not necessitate prohibiting the creation of the channel and uploading permissible videos to it, due to widespread affliction, and the responsibility lies with the website and the viewer.
