Question:
The questioner: Is it permissible to advise the rulers and scholars via the internet, or does that constitute public exposure?
Answer:
It depends on the benefit and the harm. Does the internet reach the officials or not? I do not know. But if you have advice for the rulers or for the scholars, contact them directly. Either personally by speaking to them, or in writing by writing to them, or by sending someone to contact them and convey the message to them. As for the issue of the internet, this is a compromised means. Yes.
