Forcing people to share things on whatsapp

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: I want to know that sometimes, we receive messages on mobile and whatsapp, in which there are Islamic material, and sender asks us to send to a specific number of people, and you will get your wish, otherwise it is not good for you. What is the ruling on that? Is it right to blackmail people in the name of Islam? Please tell me.

Bismillaah

A: This is all ignorance and stupidity.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
