What is the position of the people of the Sunnah regarding the creed of Muhammad 'Alawi?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We hear a lot about Muhammad 'Alawi al-Maliki, his misguidance, and his deviant statements that reach the level of shirk (associating partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from that, especially since he is in a forbidden land, where people listen to him and believe everything he says. So what is your Eminence's position on this? That is the end of his question.
The Shaykh:
This Muhammad 'Alawi is well known. He is one of the sons of Makkah and studied there. He had a class and wrote a book containing errors; in fact, he wrote errors in it, and he was held accountable for serious and ugly mistakes. He was warned about his errors, and he had intended to repent from them, but then he persisted in his falsehood, and Satan took hold of him. We ask Allah for his guidance. Some of our brothers responded to him, and we wrote a response pointing out the errors in it. These are shirk errors, kufr (disbelief) errors, may Allah protect us, and errors of claiming prophethood. He spoke with the government, and may Allah guide them, regarding preventing him from deception and preventing him from teaching until he repents to Allah and declares his repentance from these acts of shirk. The matter is on its way, if Allah wills, until he declares it.
The questioner:
He is currently prohibited. He says he is prohibited from fearing Allah.
The Shaykh:
No, he was not prohibited from that; it has not been prohibited yet. But he is prohibited from the shirk of Yusuf.
