A Response to Those Who Claim That the Call of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab Is a Burden on the State
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some people have written in the newspapers that the call of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab is nothing but a burden on the state in this age, and so on. He asks: What is the advice regarding this, and what is the guidance?
The Shaykh:
The advice is that this person is an ignorant liar, may Allah protect us from that. He did not know the call of the Shaykh, nor did he know what the state is upon. He is a poor, ignorant man.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The call of the Shaykh is not harmed by this speech; rather, it harms himself. This speech harms only the one who said it, and it does not harm the call of the Shaykh. More than this has been said about it, and it did not harm it.
