Question:
The questioner asks: What do the distinguished scholars say about the one who claims that Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen does not address the methodology, neither near nor far, and that he does not know the corruption of the contemporary movements?
Answer:
This is a statement with no basis. The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) was a distinguished scholar who understood the problems and did not speak except from knowledge and insight. This is well known about him (may Allah have mercy on him). But these people have nothing but talking about people. Their only concern is slandering the honor of scholars and slandering the honor of people. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
