The Denial of Some Writers of Stoning and the State of the One Who Denies It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
(may Allah be pleased with him). I read to a writer named Mustafa, who is invited in the book *The Psychology of the Qur'an*, his denial of stoning, and he says that it is not found in the Qur'an, and that this is a discussion of the exegetes.
The Shaykh:
This Mustafa Mahmoud is an atheist, and he has vile speech. Besides this, he has other vile speech. And unfortunately, he went on television. He is originally a Batini, originally a Batini. Then he claimed that he repented, that he moved from atheism to faith. He called it *The Journey to Certainty*. The man, may Allah protect us from him, has a framework of speech in the Shari'ah of Allah that necessitates his atheism and heresy. So it is not strange from him that he denies stoning. He is either ignorant or he is malicious, wanting to mislead the Muslims. So he is a man of evil.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh Abu 'Abdullah, does he wrong by making a mention of a male or a female? Yes. Absolutely, or absolutely? Or does he strike on the wrist of a male or a female?
The Shaykh:
And he says, this Mustafa Mahmoud, among his vilenesses, says that man is originally an ape and that he evolved little by little. He has the famous atheistic theory of Darwin, and he currently adopts it and defends it. So he is a malicious man. Yes.
