A Response to Those Who Attribute Religious Innovation to Ibn Taymiyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah guide you, O professor. The questioner asks: What is your opinion of the one who says that Ibn Taymiyyah had a bid'ah (religious innovation), and that other people from the Salaf (the earliest generations) had bid'ah?
Answer:
There is nothing to this talk; this is the talk of an apparent madman. This is correct, yes. May Allah reward you, O speaker of the sixth question. Ibn Taymiyyah forbade what 'Amr devoted his life to forbidding, namely bid'ah, shirk (associating partners with Allah), and newly invented matters. Is there bid'ah with him, or with the Salaf before him? It is apparent that he is a madman who does not know what he is saying.
