Okay, that's a little bit clear.

Ma sh-shalla t-tabarakAllah.

Okay, so Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Alhamdulillah wa sallatuh wa sallamu ala Rasulillah wa a'ala a'ala'alihi wa sallamu ala Rasulillah.

My brothers and sisters, it has been brought to my notice just now that someone, somewhere online,

is actually selling t-shirts with my name and my face.

I have absolutely nothing to do with that.

I don't condone it, I don't approve of it, and I thought it would be important to make a clarification.

Now, it was something very, very interesting because obviously things like these do happen.

And I'm sure the brother might have good intentions, but unfortunately he did the wrong thing.

So, to actually start selling merchandise using somebody else's name and face is just not on.

Not only is it Islamically unacceptable, but all norms across the globe would not permit that.

You just start doing something without checking with the person.

So, insha'Allah, I pray that this clarification can actually be, be even in Allah, as wa jalla beneficial.

To the brother or the sister, whoever it may be, who is actually selling this merchandise into anyone else who might be doing the same.

Please don't do that, please abstain from it, and please remember that the correct procedure and etiquette anytime,

whether it's me or anyone else, is to ask the person first to seek permission and written permission.

There are a lot of people who do a lot of things thinking that, well, you know, it's only Dawa and so on.

So, someone sent me an image just now, and I was quite surprised because the image was edited number one.

Number two is that it was just so wrong, Subhanallah.

And I felt for the brother because he might have been sincere, I'm no one to judge his intentions, but he made a mistake and he did something wrong.
