Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, in the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He:[Al-Isra 17:56] in Surat al-Nisa, verse 171, is there evidence for establishing the proof against those who visit graves, whether they are ignorant or learned?
Answer:
Without a doubt, yes. It is not permissible for the ignorant person to remain in his ignorance while he finds scholars, hears the callers to Allah, and hears the lectures. Today, knowledge is spread in an instant through these newly invented means that spread knowledge quickly, spreading both good and evil. So it is not permissible for the ignorant person to remain in his ignorance and his blind following; that is not an excuse for him, because the call has reached him. Yes. But these Wahhabis, when they are commanded to practice tawhid (the oneness of Allah), they say, "This is the religion of the Wahhabis." Praise be to Allah, the religion of the Wahhabis is the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which is tawhid. They have not accused us of anything except tawhid. Praise be to Allah, we accept this. Yes.
