The questioner:
And I burned Dalail al-Khayrat and Rawd al-Riyahin.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, Rawd al-Riyahin is among their books of extremism regarding the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it is invalid. However, burning it does not lead to a result. Rather, clarifying the misguidance contained in it and refuting it is what is required. Yes.
The questioner:
And Rawd al-Riyahin, which I call Rawd al-Shayatin (the Garden of Devils).
The Shaykh:
First, he called it Rawd al-Shayatin. All of this is lying about the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
