The Newspaper ,Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat
Question :
"Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat" plays a key role in distorting the message of Islam, by often attacking its principles, and at other times by analyzing a given situation in a light that is unfavourable to Muslims. Also, this newspaper focuses on covering actors and actresses from disbelieving countries, conspicuously printing their pictures and glorifying their lives. What is your view regarding this newspaper, regarding selling, buying, or distributing it?
Answer:
If the newspaper is as you described it, then dealing with A it by purchasing it is a means of encouraging and financially strengthening those who publish them, an encour- agement that is forbidden. I advise everyone not to participate in its sale or distribution. By boycotting it, we can force the editors and publishers to change their stance and their policy.
