Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. He says: What is your advice to our brothers from the People of the Sunnah in Yemen who are being fought by the Houthis?
The Shaykh:
They must rely on Allah (Mighty and Majestic), increase their supplication, and defend themselves, their offspring, and their wealth, defending as far as their ability allows. What befell the people of Yemen happened only because of their negligence and division. Had they gathered under one banner, no one would have been able to interfere with them. But because they divided and each had his own ambitions, what happened to them happened.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says:
The Shaykh:
I advise them to be patient and to take the necessary measures, including gathering and not dividing.[Al-Anfal 8:46] Do not be like those who divided and differed, and let them be firm in their unity. Sectarianism and division are harmful to the Muslims. They must gather as one group upon the Book and the Sunnah, and be as one hand against those other than them. This is the affair of the Muslims.
