The Ruling on Recording and Publishing the Stories of Recent Converts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I know many of my brothers who recently embraced Islam and are upon the methodology of the people of the Sunnah. Is it permissible, for the sake of taking a lesson and being admonished, if I ask them to tell me how they became Muslim and the benefit they feel since their conversion, and I record it and then publish it? Is there any religious objection to that?
Answer:
If they permit you to do so, there is nothing wrong with it. But if they do not permit it, you have no right to take information from them without their permission.
