Is it a sin to chat in chat rooms?
Answer
To communicate through the chat room is similar to communicating by the telephone. If there is nothing unislamic in the communication, it is permissible. If there is anuthing unislamic in it, for example chatting illicitly with the opposite sex, then it is prohibited.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
