Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some of my colleagues at work listen to the poem of al-Busiri a lot, and they say that it contains errors, but that it has much good in it.
Answer:
It has no good. It is a lie that it has good. It has major shirk (associating partners with Allah), and may Allah protect us from that. What good is in it? Tell them it has no good, and they should repent to Allah the Exalted before they die upon this. Yes.
