Questioner:
What is the authenticity of the widespread principle: “the end justifies the means”.
Shaykh Muqbil bn Hādī al-Wādi’ee:
This is a communist principle and it is not an Islāmic principle. As for Islām, no. Sins is a reason for defeat as for the Muslims, they do not take any means except legislated ones and they do not take prohibited means because, it is a reason for self-defeat. And Allāh’s aid is sought.
