The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : As you mentioned, the blessed month of Ramadan is approaching, and we are living through the conditions of Muslims in every place, whether in Bosnia, Palestine, Egypt, or elsewhere. Their honor is being violated, and the people of Islam are being slaughtered and killed like sacrificial animals. Until when will the fasting be from speaking about these slaughterhouses, the slaughterhouses of Muslims? What do we do while we witness these harsh conditions of the Muslims? I ask that you encourage me and my brothers to the action you see appropriate toward that.
The Shaykh : The action we see toward these calamities is that we turn to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for the support of every one who has been abandoned by the people of falsehood. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) says:[Al-Baqarah 2:186] As for those who are being harmed, killed, or slaughtered, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said regarding them: [Ali 'Imran 3:142] And He (Mighty and Majestic) says: [Al-Baqarah 2:214] We encourage our Muslim brothers to help these people to the best of their ability, with wealth, with their bodies, and with their status, because in that lies the alleviation of their distress and the assurance to them that their Muslim brothers are with them in any place. As for what the callers to Allah are facing in the countries mentioned by the questioner, it may be a clear victory, because if this restriction occurs for the callers in those lands, the people will gather around them and victory will be achieved through that. For this reason, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) named the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah a victory, even though its apparent aspect contained humiliation for the Muslims, but its outcome became good. So perhaps Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) will make that a clear victory for those who are calling in those lands, and the people will gather around them and they will triumph over those who harm them.
