Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is the methodology of our Shaykh. Why did he adopt this methodology and write these treatises?
Answer:
Because of the need for them, as these were actual issues occurring in his time. These were practical matters, so he wanted to clarify the reality of these issues to the people so that they would avoid them. This is obligatory for the one who calls to Allah with knowledge, because he warns against such books and treatises and warns against their authors, so that Muslims are kept from falling into them, especially if they are issued by someone who claims knowledge or is considered a scholar. Yes.
