The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We read, Honorable Shaykh, in the daily newspapers what casts doubt on the creed, including those who mock the religion, and those who ridicule the people of knowledge and virtue. The question is: Why are these people not summoned, their hands are not taken, and their harm is not stopped, knowing that they write their names in their articles with complete brazenness?
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah to grant the rulers success in taking hold of these people. The scholars continue to advise and ask the rulers, perhaps Allah will grant them success in taking hold of these people. They harm only themselves, and praise be to Allah, they do not harm us, but they may deceive the ignorant and those who follow their desires. However, perhaps Allah will make it easy for the rulers to become aware of this. Yes.
The presenter:

The Shaykh:
Along with the obligation to refute them, whoever is able to refute them should do so. Yes.
