Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Did the saying “Whoever says the people are ruined, he has ruined them” come down?
Answer:
This is the case: whoever says the people are ruined, he is the one who has ruined them. In another narration, it is said he is the one who has ruined them. Therefore, this is not permissible; the people have not all been ruined.
