Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some foreign newspapers have republished the images insulting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We ask you to direct a word to Muslims in general, and to students of knowledge in particular, regarding what is obligatory for them in this regard, and what action will absolve them of blame?
Answer:
What you have heard is so that Allah may know[Al-Hadid 57:25] Victory is achieved through the tongue, through writing, and through disapproval. And when the Muslims fight the disbelievers under the leadership of their imam, that is also part of supporting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
