The questioner:
What they call the honoring of Islam, so may Allah make the remainder [unclear].
The Shaykh:
This is empty talk. No one is infallible except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no one among creation who is infallible from error except the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). This is an exaggeration and an overstatement that is not permissible, neither regarding the Shaykh al-Islam nor anyone else. The Shaykh al-Islam would not accept this (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
