Q:
I have a YouTube channel and I saw a comment that said something shirk I did not believe it but I fear others might believe it. what should I do ignore it or can I make duaa and ask Allah to not let any people believe it.
How will I be affected if someone believes it. Will I be fine if I at least made duaa asking Allah to not let any people believe it even if they do believe in the shirk comment.
A:
As long as you have this YouTube channel, you have full responsibility before Allah for all materials exhibited therein. You have an option of blocking all comments so that you do not allow anybody to add comments including shirk.
Otherwise, you will share the evil consequences with those who perpetrated it. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever sets a good precedent in Islam, he will have the reward for that, and the reward of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest. And whoever sets an evil precedent in Islam, he will have a burden of sin for that, and the burden of those who acted in accordance with it, without that detracting from their burden in the slightest.”‘ (An-Nasai)
On the authority of Abu Sa`id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) who said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” (Muslim)
Almighty Allah knows best.
