Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it true that Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) was one of the Murji'ah and held the view of drawing the sword and rebelling against the ruler?
Answer:
O my brothers, respect the scholars. Imam Abu Hanifah is a great imam among the imams of Islam, so do not disparage him. Rather, have mercy on him and make du'a for him. Yes, he is the earliest of the four imams; indeed, it is said that he was one of the Tabi'un and the earliest of the imams. He met the Companions or met the students of the Companions, so he has a great virtue and a high status in Islam. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
