Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: We have heard a lot about the imams and scholars who are rabbani, such as Imam Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), the former mufti of this blessed land. We ask Your Eminence to mention something of his virtues and his knowledge, especially since you studied under him.
Answer:
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) was a great imam. A great imam is enough for you; among his students were Imam Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz and Imam Shaykh 'Abd Allah ibn Humayd. This is enough for you: that these great imams were students of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him), and that they took his place after his death, and that they fulfilled what was obligatory upon them in their lifetimes by spreading knowledge, upholding this religion, and enjoining good and forbidding evil. Your role remains. We ask Allah for success, assistance, and acting in obedience to Him and spreading this good. Yes.
