A Response to Those Who Say That the Tongue, Like the Lisan, Contains Both Good and Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah, how do we respond to those who say that the satellite dish contains good and evil just like the tongue?
Answer:
Its evil is greater and more prevalent. We ask Allah for well-being. It is not permissible to justify the much evil and the invalid views found in it, which outweigh whatever good may be in it. It is obligatory that warding off harms takes precedence over seeking benefits. We ask Allah for well-being. Those who are not suspected of lying have informed us that it is much evil. We ask Allah for well-being. It is a great trial.
