Question:
This questioner says: Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) cited in some of his books the action of one of the Maliki scholars during the era of the Ubaydids, Abu Ishaq al-Jibinani, when he demolished a stone with his own hand that people were seeking blessing from. Is there a basis for those who want to demolish shrines on graves without the authority of the ruler?
Answer:
I do not know of this, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
