Continuation of the Shaykh's sermon! The Muslim community is targeted by its enemies; they have pounced upon us from every direction.

The Shaykh : And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [At-Tahrim 66:6]. We were commanded to protect our families from the Fire. This means that we should raise them with an upbringing that protects them from the Fire. But unfortunately, many men are not men. Rather, they are like men but are not men. For this reason, some of the caliphs, after the community had divided, would preach to their people and say: "O men, and no men! O men, and those who are like men!" A man is a man in the truest sense. My advice to each of my Muslim brothers is to monitor his family, both male and female, because he is responsible for them. If he raises them with the correct upbringing, he will benefit from them after his death; they will be righteous and will make du'a' (supplication) for him after his death.
The internet has good in it. I do not say that it is pure evil; it has good in it. But at the same time, it has evils. There are evils in 'aqidah (creed), because 'aqidahs of religious innovation (bid'ah) are spread in it, some of which constitute disbelief (kufr) and some of which constitute open sinfulness (fisq). That is one thing. There is evil in the many errors in fatwas (scholarly legal rulings); a mufti (a scholar who issues fatwas) stands up and issues a ruling based on what he has, and he has no knowledge. This is a great danger to the common people, because the common person is a common person by name. As it is said: What are the common people? They are insects. If a common person is issued a ruling that agrees with his desire, he dismisses the other rulings, and this is harmful. There is harm in morals, harm in morals, and prostitution and corruption, and other things that are well known. So whoever benefits from it and acquires it for the benefit it contains, and is safe from its evil, then it is one of the means of knowledge. But whoever takes from it both good and evil and watches whatever comes and goes, he is in danger. Yes.
The questioner : He says: The ruling on opening cafes.
The Shaykh : As for what concerns opening cafes, this is what is being asked about. There is an authority responsible for this, so contact that authority.
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire
