Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who forbids Danish products for his family, and said that whoever eats them is a hypocrite, or that there is a flaw in his tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and he took all these food items he had and threw them in the trash? What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
In any case, we said that if the one in authority issues a prohibition, we are required to obey and listen, because this is in the interest of everyone. But if the one in authority has not issued anything, and you act on your own whim, wasting money and destroying money is something to be stopped. That is, if you take out what you have and destroy it, you are harming yourself, not Belgium; you are harming yourself.
Rather, if you want, do not buy. If you want, do not buy on your own whim; do not buy. But if you have something and you go and destroy it, you are harming yourself, my brother. You are not harming the generation; they may be happy, they may be happy with this. Yes, this is foolishness.
