Question
Assalamualaikum. I try to boycott every products that are supporting the genocide but I sometimes feel , I am thinking a lot about it and have gotten myself in trouble in past. I want to ask if what I am doing is right . If there a packet on the ground of a company that should be boycotted , and one would try to hide it , is it the right thing as he/she thinks , if someone sees it , he/she may have a desire to buy it . If I saw my friend's profile picture of a character or a name they named the acc with , and that Is from a show that should be boycotted should I tell them ? As I think , if someone sees it , they may become Curious and search up the character or the name and may start watching the show . I told my friend about the profile pic , but now it's her username , i wanted to ask if what I am doing is right. Thank you for your time .
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedWalekumussalam,
Your intention is absolutely good that you avoid companies involved in unethical practices or oppression and also try to warn others. But remember: you can only act according to your own responsibility.
Packet on the ground โ If you hide it with good intention, that is correct, but do not force anyone.
Friendโs profile or username โ You advised them, which is good. If they still keep the username, you can only give advice, not pressure them.
Keep your intention good, control your own actions, and respect the freedom of others.
