Question:
The questioner asks the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, about removing the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) by circulating the poetry of al-Mutanabbi and maps regarding certain people from specific countries.
Answer:
Exaggerating in this is not permissible. Likewise, if it contains a defect of the tribe or a defect of the group, if it contains a defect and disparagement of them, this is not permissible.
