The Book of the Principles of Islamic Economics and the Errors Contained in It

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), we have received an urgent message from one of the brothers in the Western Region. He requests that it be presented to Your Eminence promptly. The summary is the appearance of a book titled *Principles of Islamic Economics*, published by Dar al-Bayan al-'Arabi in Jeddah, with the phone number such-and-such. The book contains many errors, for example, it mentions disparaging Islam, which appears on pages such-and-such, such-and-such, and such-and-such; disparaging the scholars, which appears on page such-and-such; disparaging the system of private ownership and preferring the system of public ownership, which appears on pages such-and-such; and non-Islamic principles, which appear on pages such-and-such. Please address the matter quickly, either by having Your Eminence look at the book or by appointing someone you see fit to review this book. Note that the aforementioned brother is willing to come to Riyadh to explain the matter to Your Eminence or to the committee you deem appropriate.

Answer:
May Allah reward you with good, may Allah bless you. If Allah wills, no, if Allah wills, [they will] look at the book. If Allah wills, [it will be] prevented. If Allah wills, if there is a calm review, if Allah wills, [they will] look at it. We ask Allah for well-being and safety. These are the benefits of the mixing of disbelievers and open sinners with Muslims, and likewise, traveling to the lands of disbelievers and enjoying the company of disbelievers leads to these evil results. Yes.
