Warning Against Manipulating the Words of the Noble Qur'an and Distorting the Text

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Explaining the terms, Shaykh Salih, and manipulating them in such meanings, what does that mean? And what is your warning to people regarding this kind of thing? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
It is not the interpretation of the recitation. No. It is the Batiniyyah, and the distortion of the words from their proper places, which is the practice of the Jews and their like among the deviant sects. No, no, no. Because it is the lawful. Or. No, by Allah. (Glorified and Exalted is He). As they said about the prayer that it is supplication, and fasting is sealing the secrets, and so on. All of this is distorting the words from their proper places. Yes.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. The crux of the matter on this topic, if you would be so kind, Shaykh Talib, so that the people leave this meeting with a conclusion?

The Shaykh:
The crux of the matter is in refuting this speech.

The questioner:
Yes, in refuting this speech, and how do we rely on the speech, and rely on the correct speech as well, and where is its source?

The Shaykh:
The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) have warned about the Batini interpretations and the Qarmatians. Among them is Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), who warned in many of his letters and fatwas about the interpretations of these people and their diverting the words from their proper places. So review the fatwas of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, especially what he mentioned about the Sufis and their like, who are the custodians of the common people's Batini beliefs, and the Qarmatians who distort the words from their proper places, invalidate the Shari'ah, and interpret them with false interpretations. Yes. May Allah reward you with good and may He do you well.
