Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: The Muslim Brotherhood is calling on people these days to participate in what is called the Freedom Flotillas to Gaza, as happened a month ago with the ship that departed from Turkey. Should we participate in this and support such campaigns? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
What is the benefit of it? What is the benefit of these campaigns? Do they deter the Jews and defeat them, and support Islam and the Muslims? Or are they merely formalities? If the disbelievers do this, we do the same. The discussion is about what is beneficial and what has a beneficial outcome for Islam and the Muslims.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
