Question:
Some students of knowledge say that they distribute tapes of a shaykh whose methodology is not sound, or who is partisan, on the grounds that the sermon is impactful, meaning the sermon with which he preaches. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
If the tape contains good, preaching, and knowledge, then there is no harm in distributing it. People seek knowledge and seek good. So if the tape contains good, knowledge, jurisprudence, preaching, and reminding of Allah the Exalted, there is no harm in distributing it to spread the beneficial knowledge.
