Exploiting the Names of the Companions in Westernization Projects
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. We find that some Westernizers exploit the names of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), such as Khadijah and others, to push through their Westernization projects. What is our obligation? And what is your advice? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The obligatory thing is for us to clarify the error of these people and to exonerate the female Companion Khadijah, and to clarify her status. This is a desecration of her name; they attribute to her the open display of the body, they attribute to her what occurred in the celebration of what is wrong, they attribute to Khadijah. This is an insult to the Mother of the Believers and a desecration of her name. Otherwise, she is innocent of it, may Allah keep her pure from it, and they do not desecrate her, but they desecrate her name in the eyes of the people. As some of the shaykhs said, it would be better if this conference were called the Huda al-Sha'rawi Conference, not the Khadijah Forum. Yes, it should be called the Huda al-Sha'rawi Forum because it is on the methodology of Huda al-Sha'rawi. It is not on the methodology of Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her). Yes.
