Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says:
Answer:
He said that Islam did not bring slavery, but rather agreed with the Arabs' custom. This is a false statement made by the ignorant who claim to want to defend Islam. This is not a defense of Islam; it is a denial of a ruling from the rulings of Islam upon which there is consensus, indicated by the Book and the Sunnah. So this is the speech of an ignorant person, and one should not pay attention to it.
