Question:
Peace be upon you. The Shaykh, may Allah reward you and do you good. The methods of the existing ideas regarding the following: doubting al-Bukhari and Muslim, where there are hadiths in them that the mind does not accept; doubting the book *Tafsir al-Quran al-Azim* by Imam Ibn Kathir; and their doubting of the arrangement of hadiths regarding divine decree and destiny, and focusing on the validity of intercession and the incident of taking the well-known Shaykhs in Egypt, and al-Sayyid al-Badawi, and so on, as a gathering point for the youth for that thought, and enticing them with jobs and a livelihood through their places.
Answer:
This is not strange. The people of misguidance are always with misguidance and sit with it; they have not died. The people of misguidance have not died. Some people say the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah have died, and they engage with their words and respond to them. They have not died; they are present, and they call to their school of thought. So it is obligatory that we learn, and we cannot know this misguidance unless we learn the truth and the correct path and the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community, so that we know that what they opposed is invalid. Without that, it is not possible.
