The Position on the Statement of the Committee of Senior Scholars

Question:
This is obligatory, and we want you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify the implementation of the statement issued by the Committee of Senior Scholars.

Answer:
My brother, they have lost interest in the Qur'an and the hadiths of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). How could they not lose interest in the words of the Committee of Senior Scholars? The scholars have clarified, praise be to Allah, and they have exerted their efforts in clarification. As for the claim that they please everyone, that is not correct. They do not please everyone. There are people who are not pleased with this, who do not want the unity of words, and who do not want criminals to be punished. There are people who encourage crime, encourage rebellion against the ruler, and encourage the disruption of security. These people are certainly not pleased with the statement, but their opinion is of no account. It is the duty of the scholars to clarify and advise. The idea that they please everyone is not correct; it is not possible. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions.
