The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you spoke about the emergence of the phenomenon of retraction.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
We heard that the Permanent Committee has retracted its critique of the book by al-Halabi and Shukri, and that al-Halabi visited the Committee and clarified that the error was in this fatwa. Is this true?
The Shaykh:
This is all nonsense. The Committee has not retracted, and will not retract, if Allah wills, from the truth and clarifying falsehood. No one has visited the Committee, and even if someone did visit and then died, the Committee does not retract from the truth, ever. Rather, it is obligatory that he is the one who retracts from falsehood and turns to Allah the Exalted. Yes. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
