The Opinion on a Book Clarifying the Errors of Sayyid Qutb

Question:
This questioner says: A book titled *Agwa' Islamiyyah* (Islamic Delusions) on the creed and thought of Sayyid Qutb has been published recently. He says that Sayyid Qutb fell into errors in creed. We ask, Honorable Shaykh, to inform us of your opinion on this book.

Answer:
The truth is, I have not read this book; it was only sent to me. I have not read it, but as far as I can tell, the author did not bring anything from his own opinion, nor did he fabricate anything. Rather, he mentioned actual errors in his books and pointed them out, down to the fragment and the half-word. As long as that is the case, he has not taken his teachings from elsewhere. As long as he cited his evidence and the precedent from the man's book, he has conveyed the meanings. Everyone makes mistakes; Sayyid Qutb makes mistakes, and others make mistakes. Praise be to Allah, the truth is, of course, for every believer. This is from the fact that the author did not bring anything from his own knowledge, nor did he fabricate against the man, nor did he lie about him. Rather, he quoted his words verbatim from his books and mentioned the page and the book. So his conscience is clear of that. Yes.
