What is the guiding principle for selecting da‘wah activities for a website? And is the publisher held accountable for errors in lectures and lessons by trustworthy scholars? And are there any proofs or traditions that can be used for analogy in this matter?

Creating a website to advertise da'wah (Islamic propagation) and academic activities is a good endeavor and falls under cooperation in righteousness and piety. However, several guidelines must be observed:

1. Direct the activities to address the problems of the target community, emulating the prophets who dealt with the issues of their peoples.

2. Prioritize in da'wah, starting with the most important then the important, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did with Mu'adh ibn Jabal when he sent him to Yemen.

3. Present activities offered by sincere scholars and callers (du'at) who adhere to the methodology of Ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, and who are known for their knowledge and religiosity. There is no harm in benefiting from them despite any slips or ijtihaadaat (independent reasoning) that may occur, for humans are not infallible.
