The claim that times have changed since the time of Ibn Baz
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best.
The questioner:
There is no god but Allah.
The Shaykh:
Give Muhammad the intercession and the excellence so that they may reach Allah and a praiseworthy station that is returned.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The questioner:
The questioner says: When we tell those who speak against the Saudi state that Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said that hostility toward this state is hostility toward tawhid (the oneness of Allah), they say this was in the time of Ibn Baz and that times have changed. How do we respond to them?
The Shaykh:
Ask him: What has changed since the time of Ibn Baz? Has the state deviated from what it was in the time of Ibn Baz? Praise be to Allah, we have seen nothing but good, and we have seen nothing but the continuation of good. This is not tied to the time of Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him); the good continues, praise be to Allah. Yes.
