The Ruling on Buying Newspapers That Mock Islam

Question:
The third question: Many newspapers and magazines mock Islam, engage in slander, praise disbelievers, sinners, and people of entertainment, and publish pictures of unveiled women. What is the ruling on buying these publications, or selling and promoting them?

Answer:
Newspapers of this nature, which publish terms of disavowal, or insult the callers to Allah, or discourage people from da'wah (calling to Islam), or publish atheistic articles or the like, must be boycotted and not bought. It is obligatory for the state, if it is Islamic, to prohibit them, because they harm society and harm Muslims. It is obligatory for the Muslim not to buy them, not to promote them, to call for abandoning them, and to encourage people not to possess or buy them. It is the duty of those in authority who are able to prohibit them to do so, or to direct them toward good so that they abandon evil and adhere to what is right. Yes.
