Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I entered the mosque and greeted those who were sitting, so some of the people objected to me and said that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) does not consider it prescribed. Is what he mentioned correct?
Answer:
He has it? Bring me the words of Shaykh al-Islam. Let him ask him for the words of Shaykh al-Islam. There must be a reason. What is the reason? Yes.
