Advice on Confronting Malicious Publications

Question:
The questioner asks: What is your advice to some of the brothers who are deceived by certain malicious publications, which are issued outside the Peninsula, such as the magazine al-Sunnah, published by what is called the Center for Strategic Research and Studies, which is run by a person who harbors hatred toward this safe country and its people, knowing that this magazine bears the name of the Sunnah but has nothing of the Sunnah in it?

Answer:
It is known that those with malicious intent plot harm against Muslims by various means. One of these treacherous means is to name their publications, whether magazines or books, with attractive names, such as al-Sunnah magazine, and other such names. This is like one who mixes poison with honey, or names khamr (intoxicants) as a "spiritual drink," or uses other deceptive names.
It is obligatory for Muslims not to be deceived by names, but rather to look at the contents. If the content is treacherous, then the book or magazine is among the treacherous things, even if its names are good and attractive.
Therefore, it is obligatory for the youth of the Ummah, for Muslims, and especially for the scholars, to fight these treacherous magazines and these treacherous publications, which deceive the youth of Muslims with their names.
And to expose their falsity, because they are a danger to the beliefs of Muslims and a danger to the unity of Muslims. They aim to divide the word, to stir up fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and to promote falsehood. They are weapons of destruction. In my view, these treacherous magazines and these treacherous publications are more dangerous to the Ummah than narcotics, of which the world has complained about the danger. These treacherous books and these treacherous magazines, especially when they claim the name of Islam and the name of the Sunnah, are more dangerous to the Ummah than narcotics, and more dangerous to the Ummah than deadly weapons. Indeed, they are more dangerous to the Ummah than the epidemics that have troubled the world, the disease epidemics that have troubled the world. These treacherous books and these treacherous magazines are more dangerous to the Ummah than serious epidemics. It is obligatory for Muslims to fight them and to warn against them.
And that they respond to her with the truth, and that they silence her with the truth. What Allah said is: . He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: . Allah informed us that the hypocrites have tongues.
One is amazed at those who hear them. Allah the Exalted said: . This is part of the trial and test. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he mentioned the men of fitnah in the end times and warned against them, was asked: "Describe them to us, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "They are a people ." This applies to these misleaders in this era. They claim to belong to the Muslims, that they are zealous for the Muslims, and that they want good for the Muslims, while in reality they stab them in the back. Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of these people, to warn against these people, and to wage war against them. And if they see wakefulness from the Muslims, then by the permission of Allah, they will be defeated, because nothing stands against the truth, and falsehood cannot resist the truth, no matter what. Yes.
