Confronting hostile journalistic writings against the rulings of the religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In our local newspapers, there are many writings hostile to the rulings of the religion, and opposing it by mocking the people of hisbah (religious police), publicly objecting to the rulings of the pure Shari'ah, and demanding a change in the country's adherence to the Book and the Sunnah. It has become difficult for a person to track down these writings due to their abundance and the severity of their obscenity. How do you see the best way to deter these people from their deviation so that the intended result is achieved without committing a greater evil?
Answer:
Yes, this is the reality, but the Muslim must deny this matter to the best of his ability. He must deny this matter to the best of his ability. This is one of the greatest evils. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 49a. If this Muslim who disapproves of this matter has authority, he changes it with his hand and prevents these people. If he does not have authority, he changes it with his tongue, refutes them, exposes their doubts, and clarifies their falsehood. This is denial by the tongue. If he has neither authority nor the ability to speak, he hates this matter in his heart and feels aversion to it. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good.

He who amongst you sees something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue, and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of faith.
