Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Can wrong actions be justified by their plus points?

“You said that bloodshed and suicide bombing in the name of jihad is wrong, but its plus point is that it creates news which makes people study the Quran. My question is: can these wrong actions be done considering their plus point? Certainly not, so that means we will commit haram?”Asked by Maulana Abdul Wahab, Delhi
