Frivolous Magazines, Their Importation, and the Obligation of Follow-Up

Question:
Who? Regarding the frivolous magazines that are widely distributed in our commercial establishments, what is your opinion of those who import these indecent magazines, which have become a common, accepted practice? This is a serious and widespread matter. In addition to these images, one finds indecent pictures in them, and the like of this in such gatherings?

Answer:
It is incumbent upon readers and brothers, if they find anything wrong in these magazines or others, to follow up on the matter and write to the authorities, for example to me, to the head of the committees, to the Minister of Justice, or to others whom they believe will be of benefit, so that the issues are addressed. If you see a frivolous magazine where the evil is greater, or a newspaper or other publication from any country, it is necessary that students of knowledge and righteous people follow up on it and report it to the authorities. They should not be weary or lazy. The people of falsehood are active in their falsehood, or the falsehood in which they are deluded. Therefore, it is not right for him to be lazy; rather, it is right for him to be more active than the people of falsehood. He should follow up on what is intended regarding the wrong until Allah removes it by Allah, then through follow-up, communication, and mutual advice.
