The Poor Quality of Publications
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We find in the markets now some small booklets in which stories are circulating, and these are published in the bookstores. I do not find anything in them, O Shaykh! Are these stories authentic, and if they are not authentic, what is their ruling?
Unfortunately, the people of the printing presses have now taken—some of them—printing these books as a trade. For this reason, you find them striving to market the book and correct the sections and the like, and they bring whatever comes to mind. The reason for this is that the supervision of books that are published in the markets or that are printed is weak, either weak in knowledge or negligent in work and responsibility. However, if a person sees something that contradicts the religion and morals, they must report it, either to us or to others who will convey the matter to the government.
