The questioner: There is a young Egyptian man who works in a printing press, and he tells me that if you want to print religious books or anything else, we can print them for you for free. He is an ordinary employee, but he says that the owner of the press gives him the freedom to act as he sees fit. What is the ruling in Islam regarding this?
The Shaykh: This talk is not credible.
The questioner: This is his story.
The Shaykh: It is not credible.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The owner of the press opened the press for the sake of charity.
The questioner : No, of course not.
The Shaykh: He intends to cause harm.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: The idea that he gives him the freedom to print for free is unsound and unacceptable talk.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Therefore, do not comply with this man who claims that the owner of the press gave him the freedom.
The questioner: Yes, may Allah reward you with all good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And beware of that.
