Describing Imam al-Barbahari as having a takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) tendency
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: One of them said about Imam al-Barbahari (may Allah have mercy on him) that he has a takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) tendency, and that he has exaggerations in creed.
Answer:
This is not al-Barbahari. All the imams of the people of the Sunnah and the community say that they are takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) proponents. They said that Imam Ahmad is a takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) proponent because he holds that the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever. They said this about other than al-Barbahari. So, may Allah protect us from them, for they want people to remain as they are, and there are no nullifiers of Islam. They say there are no nullifiers of Islam; all people are the same. Whoever says, "I am a Muslim," is a Muslim, even if he does not pray, or even if he does whatever he does of the nullifiers of Islam, he is a Muslim.
