Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Many questions have come in regarding this issue. Some of the committed brothers, may Allah guide them, do things that harm the image of Islam, and some people say, "Look at this Islam."
Answer:
They did not clarify what the matters they are doing are. The harm to Islam is not permissible. It is not permissible to attribute the errors of people and the errors of those who claim to be Muslims to Islam. Those errors are attributed to them themselves. As for Islam, it is innocent of them. Islam is the religion of good, the religion of truth, the religion of justice, and the religion of mercy. So nothing but good is attributed to it. As for the errors of those who claim to be Muslims, they are attributed to them themselves and not to Islam. Yes.
