The Authenticity of the Warning Against Salman al-'Udah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh, and I bear witness to Allah of my love for you. After that, we heard from you that you said that Sana' al-'Udah is not to be praised. Is this true, and that you warn and advise us not to listen to his lessons and lectures? Is this true?
Answer:
By Allah, I do not remember that I was aware of this statement. And I do not speak about anyone unless it is established for me that he has a fault, in which case I warn against him. As for this man, by Allah, I have not heard [of him], because I listen to his speech but I do not seek it out. I am distant from his speech and the speech of others like him. I listen to it because it does not bring you anything that expands your chest; it brings you something that pleases your mind and disturbs your mind. So, praise be to Allah, I am safe from these people and what they say. Yes.
