The questioner : As for these scholars who speak in favor of socialism, do they deserve the title of scholars?
The Shaykh : Yes, but they are scholars of misguidance. These are the ones who subjected the texts to proving socialism; they are scholars, but scholars of misguidance.
The questioner : I say, the family of the leader.
The Shaykh : Yes, and for this reason the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2229Sahih (Darussalam)
The questioner : I lost it. Yes.
The Shaykh : The greatest loss, the greatest loss, is it?
The questioner : My uncle.
The Shaykh : Was it for what was other than his work? Its loss, by Allah, because the assumption is better.
The Shaykh : Yes, but they are scholars of misguidance. These are the ones who subjected the texts to proving socialism; they are scholars, but scholars of misguidance.
The questioner : I say, the family of the leader.
The Shaykh : Yes, and for this reason the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I only fear for my Ummah from the misguiding A'immah.
أخاف على أمتي الأئمة المضلينThe questioner : I lost it. Yes.
The Shaykh : The greatest loss, the greatest loss, is it?
The questioner : My uncle.
