Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, we observe a laxity among some of our brothers in being negligent in many aspects of the religion. This has been greatly exacerbated by many channels, such as poetry channels and popular channels, which have stirred up many rivalries and occupied the tribes with one another.
Answer:
This is one of the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). It is obligatory for the rulers to prevent these channels, because they cause fitnah and kindle enmity between the tribes, stirring up many evils. It is obligatory for the rulers, may Allah grant them success, to prevent these channels and prevent their broadcasting. They may not be able to prevent their origin, but they must prevent their broadcasting in the Kingdom. Yes.
