Why do shaykhs like Al-Afasy, Al-Arifi, and Khalid Al-Muslih earn money from forbidden YouTube ads, and do they take ill-gotten gains, in accordance with His, the Almighty's, saying: "Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?"
We must think well of Muslims, especially scholars and preachers known for their righteousness and uprightness. Although we are not aware of what happens on the channels of the aforementioned shaykhs or familiar with the specific fatwa, the fatwas we issue are based on evidence, the sayings of verified scholars, and general Islamic legal principles. Others may agree or disagree with us, and their disagreement is not an argument against us.
