The Ruling on Using Poetry in Support of the Call
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am a poet. If I use my poetry to support the call and the correct methodology, what is your opinion on that?
Answer:
This is good. It becomes like Hassan ibn Thabit, who used poetry to support the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), support the call, and respond to the polytheists.
