The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are those who say that supplication at graves is better than supplication at the Ka'bah, and he also insults Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). So what is the ruling on such a person?
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that he did not do this except due to a deviation in his heart and a hatred of Islam and tawhid (the oneness of Allah), so there is no good in him. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
And what is the sin of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah except that he commands tawhid (the oneness of Allah), forbids shirk (associating partners with Allah), calls to Allah, and teaches people what is good. Yes.
