The Error Of Delaying Clarification Regarding Terrorism | Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān The Questioner: One of the brothers asks saying that seminars have been held and many statements and admonitions of the scholars and people of rectification have been put forth in an effort to oppose terrorism. Regretfully, many Imāms of Masājid and callers [to Islām] are late in addressing this dangerous issue so they leave the people to understand this issue from those who do not have knowledge or those who have nothing to support what they say from Islāmic legislation. So the people are confused and as a result they misunderstand the issue. So is it from understanding or wisdom that speech regarding something is delayed beyond its time esteemed Shaykh? Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān: “Yes, this is a mistake; the people today are in dire need of this ideology being clarified and deconstructed such that its danger to the Muslims might be identified. So it is upon the Imāms who deliver admonitions at the Masājid and teachers and students of knowledge and anyone who has the ability to do so to clarify it so that this ideology does not spread among the children of the Muslims such that we leave the people of corruption an opportunity to brainwash our youth and our children while we are sitting on our hands. So we must take heed of this in our places of worship and elsewhere.” Translated by: Abul-Layth Qāsim Mutiva
