Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I used to attend the lessons of the scholars and read in the books of Islamic jurisprudence. Then I was afflicted with reading what is called Twitter and reading political analyses. I am certain that this is one of Satan’s schemes, but what is the way out of it, O Honorable Shaykh? And how do I overcome myself in this matter?
Answer:
The way out is easy: return to the path you were on, leave Twitter, and leave these things; stay away from them. Ask Allah for deliverance from what is harmful to you and to your religion. Ask Allah for help. Rely on Allah and do not despair. Yes.
