The Ruling on Sending Blessings upon al-Busiri, the Author of the Burdah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. What is the ruling on one who intentionally says, “I send blessings upon al-Busiri, the author of the Burdah,” and says that there are beautiful verses in his poem, while it contains verses of shirk (associating partners with Allah)? What is your opinion?
Answer:
The fact that it contains verses of shirk is sufficient to negate the beauty; shirk does not leave any beauty with it, my brother. How can you be pleased with him and send blessings upon him? Be silent about him; do not send blessings upon him, and do not curse him, for Allah has not burdened you with that. But beware of the Burdah and the evil contained in it, and clarify the shirk within it. Beware of these blind people who are pleased with it. Yes.
