Treating the West: Ruling on Listening to Criticism of the Islamic Republic

English:

Question #1387:

Some people talk about certain negative aspects and weakness within the Islamic Republic. What is the view on listening to such conversations?

Answer #1387:

Clearly, embarking on any action that may tarnish the image of the Islamic Republic, which is standing against infidelity and world arrogance, is not in the interest of Islam and Muslims. Accordingly, if such conversations lead to weakening of the Islamic Republic system, it is impermissible.
