QUESTION

Should the Salafee Muslims in America involve themselves in the American media, be it TV, radio or the press, in order to clarify the doubts, misconceptions, and lies issued against Islaam by its enemies from the disbelievers and the deviant Muslims?

ANSWER by Shaykh Wasee Allaah 'Abbaas, lecturer at the Ka'bah, instructor at Umm Al-Quraa University in Makkah

Yes, rather it is obligatory on them to do so if they have a way to participate in a radio program to defend Islaam and to teach (the people) about Islaam. However, they must not present anything that conflicts with the Sharee'ah in that program.
