Leaving off listening to the news and caring about the affairs of the Muslims

Question:
The questioner says: When I listen to the news, especially about Iraq and other places, I become severely depressed. If I stop listening to the news and turn to reciting the Qur'an, my soul becomes calm and I live a stable life. Does leaving off listening to the news count as not caring about the affairs of the Muslims?

Answer:
This is a good remedy. If you find comfort in the Qur'an, listen to the Qur'an and do not listen to the news that affects you. This is not a matter of caring about the affairs of the Muslims. What are you doing? What do you intend to do in Iraq if you listen? Do you intend to solve their problem? You are just hearing something, but you are affected and it distresses you. Stay away from this. Stay away from this. As for the one who does not care about the affairs of the Muslims, this is not an authentic hadith. There is a discussion about it. It is a weak hadith.
