The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In these days, the book fair is opened, and we want you (may Allah preserve you) to clarify the obligation of students of knowledge toward some books that contain doubts and desires, and what is the best way to forbid them so that there is discipline?
The Shaykh:
The way is that you walk around in the fair and record all the books in it that are not permissible to promote, writing down their names, and then you submit them to the authorities, either the Dar al-Ifta (Department of Fatwa) or the officials who can take action against these people. Yes.
