Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify who is this person who issues rulings on authentication and weakening, and claims to be a hadith scholar?
Answer:
I do not identify a specific individual. I am saying that this exists; it is a phenomenon found now. I do not name names. You know this; you know things that have happened, and there has been a lot of confusion in them. Yes.
