BOYCOTT OR NOT?

BISMILLAHIRRAHMANIRRAHIM


Gaza and Palestinians continued to be attacked by Israel. Israel responsible for this attack continues to act outside the bounds rapacious humanity and international law in advancing the agenda of the establishment of greater Israel.

As a citizen of Malaysia, what should I do to help Gaza and Palestinians? Should I boycott every single product that own by Israel?

Take for instance, McDonald's. In my point of view, is not all that eating McDonald's support for Israel and not boycott McDonald's also called as true Muslims.

Besides, it seems increasingly debated this issue on social sites. There are many people who do not agree, and at the same times, there are many who agree to boycott Israeli goods.

In the Qur'an, there are no words or sentence telling the laws of eating McDonald's can make a great sinner. For me, it's an individual's right to boycott or not. Moreover, the government itself is not mention to boycott Israeli products. From verse 'Boycott' itself it is as a protest or show signs of 'non-support' on any matter. So, it depends on the intention. If the intention of we do not want to eat McDonald's or use the goods of Israel because we want to show hatred against the enemies of Islam in the works and also looking pleased with Allah, In shaa Allah, we can get reward from Him.
