The Ruling on Publishing al-Qasimi’s Books and Responding to Them

Question:
He says: After the death of Abdullah al-Qasimi, talk about him increased in the newspapers, and there was a call to publish his books and ideas. Meanwhile, we read responses from some of the brothers, including Abdullah ibn Idris, who said that he met him in Lebanon and asked, “What is the last thing you were upon?” He said, “The last thing I will be upon is that I do not believe in the existence of Allah.” He said, “This is a separation between you and me.” Is it permissible to write about him, or to publish his books and call for them, or is warning against them what is required?

Answer:
Yes, as long as his books have been published and he has people who praise him, it is necessary to clarify his condition, and it is necessary to respond to him and his books and warn against them, because this, as we mentioned, is part of the advice to Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and the Muslim leaders and the common people. The man died and it was not known that he repented. His books exist and he did not retract from them, and they contain atheism and disbelief, and he did not retract from them. Yes.
