Advice for those who attack scholars and their fatwas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question that says: What is your advice, O partners, regarding those who gather between seeking knowledge and saying that the scholars of the women (may Allah preserve them) erred in issuing fatwas that have an impact, based on some books that they built upon the creed of admiration? Is there any advice for these people who cause fatigue among the people and create love among the Muslims?
Answer:
There is nothing strange about that. If they spoke about the Imams, if they spoke about the Imams, such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, and Shaykh al-Ahmad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, and they doubted their books and attacked them, and some of them even attacked the Sunnah, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And whoever attacks the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and attacks the narrators, the Companions of the Messenger in this narration. Did they change it or what? We do not find it strange that they attack this Committee; this is not strange. The people of misguidance stumble about, but praise be to Allah, they do not harm anyone but themselves, and the truth remains, even if their noses are humiliated.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
