A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

Boycotting.
0:11
It is a form of economic warfare.
0:14
Used by peoples and nations against those who show them hostility.
0:18
This has been known since ancient times.
0:21
An example of this is the boycott of the Banu Hashim by the Quraysh.
0:25
And their siege in the ravine of Abu Talib.
0:28
They would not trade with them.
0:30
An economic boycott.
0:32
Nor would they intermarry with them, a social boycott.
0:36
And they prevented any aid from reaching them.
0:39
Attempting by this means to dissuade the Messenger, peace be upon him, from his call.
0:45
They wrote a document pledging to do so and hung it inside the Kaaba.
0:51
The siege lasted for three years.
0:54
Until Allah permitted the trial to end.
0:59
The termites—which are white ants—consumed this document.
1:04
When the Quraysh saw that, they lifted the siege.
1:09
Among the examples of this from the side of the Muslims against the disbelievers:
1:13
What Thumamah Ibn Uthal, the leader of the Banu Hanifah, did after he embraced Islam.
1:19
He cut off the supplies that used to reach the Quraysh from the Banu Hanifah.
1:24
Until they ceased their harm against the Muslims.
1:27
And the Messenger, peace be upon him, permitted him to do something in that regard.
1:33
In the modern era, the West uses the weapon of boycotting with force.
1:38
In the form of sanctions against any state that does not comply with its desires.
1:43
Muslims do this driven by their faith.
1:48
To support their religion and their Prophet, without the support of their own rulers.
1:54
Nevertheless, the boycott bears fruit by the grace of Allah the Exalted.
1:59
As happened years ago with the boycott of Danish products.
2:04
Until the companies complained to their government.
2:08
And the author of the film that mocked the Messenger, peace be upon him, retracted his mockery.
2:13
Indeed, he even entered into Islam after he learned about him.
2:18
Just as the boycott of French products is currently taking place.
2:23
Because a wicked newspaper published offensive cartoons of the noble Messenger, peace be upon him.
2:30
And because the French government did not prevent that.
2:34
It is a powerful boycott that affects the economy of the state upon which it is imposed.
2:41
It is sufficient for us, beyond the realistic impact on the enemies,
2:45
That it serves as a demonstration of the Muslims' loyalty to their religion and their Prophet.
2:50
And their disavowal of the people of disbelief and polytheism using whatever weapon they can.
