Types of Corruption on Earth

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Khalid from Makkah al-Mukarramah says: Honorable Shaykh Salih, what are the types of corruption on earth that are prohibited?

Answer:
The types of corruption on earth are numerous: corruption through sins, through transgressions, and through severing family ties. Is it the case that
if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship? (23) Those [who do so] are the ones that Allah has cursed, so He deafened them and blinded their vision.تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحَامَكُمْ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰ أَبْصَارَهُمْ
[Muhammad 47:22-23]
? The corruption on earth has various types, and the greatest of them is disobeying Allah and His Messenger. This is the greatest corruption on earth. Allah the Exalted said:
Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].ظَهَرَ الْفَسَادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ لِيُذِيقَهُم بَعْضَ الَّذِي عَمِلُوا لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
[Ar-Rum 30:41]
Yes.

The presenter:
