Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on the sale of local newspapers that are published here?
I see nothing wrong with them, unless they contain bad ideas or indecent pictures.
The questioner himself: Do they contain news about sports, art, and singing, and advertising for them?The Shaykh: Leave those alone; do not buy them.
The questioner: The magazine must have a daily supplement on this topic.
The Shaykh: By Allah! I do not know. I see that a person not being informed about what is happening in the world is considered a deficiency.So it is better to say: If you like to be informed about world news, buy this; because most of it is not what you are saying.And this was torn up by the questioner: The question, O Shaykh, is about selling them—the owner of a shop is asking: Does he sell, for example, Al-Jazirah, Al-Riyadh, Okaz, and others?The Shaykh: If it is permissible to buy them, it is permissible to sell them; because selling is a contract between two parties.
