Boycotting American and Western Products
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: We have been greatly hurt by the rebuke we received for using American and Western products. The question is: Is boycotting them obligatory? And is it permissible to call for boycotting them, whether as a recommendation or an obligation, even though the one in authority has not ordered it?
Answer:
People are following their desires. The one who is not a promoter of American products does not buy them out of his own desire. The matter is easy in this regard. There is no compulsion to buy them, and there is no compulsion not to buy them. The matter is a matter of choice. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
