What is the ruling on the writings of some Muslim authors and novelists that contain sexual allusions and implications, which may lead to the arousal of desires and corruption, and what is your guidance to Muslim youth regarding this matter?
We were not aware of the content written by the aforementioned novelist, so we cannot judge it. However, in general, one of the greatest objectives of Islam is to protect the Muslims' religion from temptations (fitan), and the greatest of these is the temptation of men by women. For this reason, Islam has forbidden everything that leads to it. We advise writers to fear Allah and remember that they will be held accountable for their deeds. We advise the youth to foil the plans of the enemies of Islam who seek to destroy their morals. And we advise scholars and preachers to pay attention to the youth of the Ummah and purify their souls with beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds.
