The ruling on citing the hadith of 'Umar regarding the open commission of sins

The questioner:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people openly commit their sins and cite the hadith of 'Umar, stating that he used to bury his daughter during the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) and that he used to worship an idol.

The Shaykh:
What?

The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Some people openly commit their sins and cite the hadith of 'Umar, stating that he used to bury his daughter during the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah),

The Shaykh:
'Umar repented from this. He repented from shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is the greatest of all, and whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance. Therefore, it is not permissible to cite the deeds of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) as evidence. Rather, it is obligatory to abandon the deeds of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). Whoever falls into any of them must repent and hasten to repent to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. Allah removed the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) through the message of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, it is not permissible to act according to the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against the matters of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), against the ruling of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), against the tribal loyalty of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah), and against the display of adornment of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). He prohibited everything related to the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah). It is not permissible for us to imitate the pre-Islamic age of ignorance (jahiliyyah) or to revive its rituals. Yes.
