Dealing with trials and spreading doubt on the internet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is not hidden from your eminence the multitude of trials (fitan) in this time. In these days, there is a lot of spreading of doubt, spreading of hatred, and slandering scholars and those in authority on the internet. So what is your guidance regarding the one who does this, and the one who receives and reads such things?
Answer:
The one who does this is a caller to trial (fitnah). This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us about. But you should isolate yourself from it, stay away from it, do not look at it, do not listen to it, and keep it away from your home if you want safety for yourself and your household. Yes.

Callers at the gates of Hell, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: whoever obeys them, they will throw them into it.
