What is the ruling on publishing a lecture or video clip that contains minor errors in recitation or pronunciation of hadiths, or relying on a weak hadith, or mentioning incorrect jurisprudential information, or a statement that has not been preceded, knowing that the lecturer is trustworthy and most of his speech is beneficial, and it is difficult to point out these errors when publishing?
It is permissible to publish beneficial lectures and da'wah (preaching) and educational clips, as this is a great door to good deeds; based on the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever guides to good will have a reward like that of its doer," and "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward like that of those who follow him." There is no harm in publishing a clip that is generally sound, even if it contains some minor flaws. It is preferable to delete the error or point it out if possible. If that is not feasible, there is no harm in publishing beneficial material, for if that were prevented, people would be deprived of many benefits.
