Teaching the Chapter of Loyalty and Disavowal to the Youth
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that some people mention that in these days, it is not befitting to teach the chapter of al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal) to the youth, because it encourages takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) and terrorism?
Answer:
Hey, let me explain it to you. What is meant by teaching is making them understand it. They must understand the meaning of al-wala' wa al-bara'. It is not enough for them to just memorize it without understanding it. It must be explained to them and clarified for them. Yes.
