Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is our position regarding the newspapers at this time that wage war against religious people and mock the religion? Is there a word to say about that and guidance?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the one who is able to respond to respond and clarify the doubts they mention. The one who is not able to respond should hate it in his heart and stay away from it. As for the fact that they mock us and say, "Praise be to Allah, this is for our benefit," we are patient with this and we are on reward. They mocked the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), they mocked the Qur'an, they mocked the Companions, and they mocked the imams. This never harms us; rather, they harm themselves, not the Muslims. Yes.
