Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I bear witness to Allah the Mighty and Majestic that I love you for the sake of Allah. My question is that we find that our honorable shaykhs and distinguished scholars are currently speaking about the harms of bombings and the danger of declaring people disbelievers, and this is a matter that is necessary. However, Honorable Shaykh, there are other evils that the Muslim community needs to have their rulings and dangers clarified, such as the worship of graves, and the laxity and cooperation in riba (usury or interest), and other such issues. So what is your guidance?
Answer:
Yes, these exist, and forbidding evil exists, and praise be to Allah. The scholars have not been silent about riba; rather, they have explained its prohibition, written about it, delivered sermons, and taught. The scholars have not been silent about evils; rather, they have advised, clarified, and called people to avoid evils.
They are still doing so, praise be to Allah, in their advice, lessons, sermons, and sermons, and the bodies for enjoining good and forbidding evil are still addressing these matters. So praise be to Allah, the remedy exists. The scholars have not been silent, nor have the rulers been silent; rather, there is a remedy, praise be to Allah. As for speaking about the events, yes, these events are very important, and it is necessary to clarify the truth in them, because there are those who claim that this is jihad in the cause of Allah. Do you believe this? There are those who claim that this bombing in the lands of Muslims is jihad in the cause of Allah, that killing Muslims is jihad in the cause of Allah, that destroying the homes of Muslims is jihad in the cause of Allah. In fact, they consider bombing in mosques to be jihad in the cause of Allah, and that whoever dies in this is a martyr. They give them, they give them the ruling of martyrdom, as if they are acting on behalf of the Mighty and Majestic and granting martyrdom to such people. We ask Allah for well-being. So do not be surprised if the scholars focus on this aspect, forbid it, and clarify to people the error of these people and the error of these actions, and the error of those who justify these matters and claim that they are from the religion and that they are jihad in the cause of Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
