The ruling on saying that a scholar died not knowing Islam

Question:
The questioner says: I heard a recording of one of the doctors who are students of knowledge, in which he said that Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy on him) died not knowing Islam. What is the ruling on this statement?

Answer:
We ask Allah for well-being. We ask Allah for well-being. And what does he know about Al-Albani’s death that he did not know Islam on the day he died? Did he witness something about him? Did he have something? This is an invalid statement, and I seek refuge in Allah. It is a bad opinion of the scholars and the people of good. We hope for him good and we hope for him reward and recompense. He is one of the callers who refutes the Sufis and the people of superstition. That is what we know about him (may Allah have mercy on him). He is not infallible, so he may make mistakes, and he may have errors, but that does not necessitate that this kind of statement be made about him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
