The attribution of the disagreement on the issue of faith to Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. What is the meaning of the claim that it is a disagreement with the explicit text of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in the book on faith?
The Shaykh:
This is an error. The one who said this took the Shaykh’s phrase from its beginning and left the rest standing. The disaster is this issue of the line; they say that if you snatch the beginning of the speech, or the end, or the middle, it is not permissible to take the context from its beginning to its end until it becomes clear. These people snatch words, cut them off, and say, “This is the Shaykh’s statement,” “This is the Shaykh’s statement.” The Shaykh never said there is a disagreement with you, not at all.
Another questioner:
Glory be to Allah, O my Lord.
The Shaykh:
His mention of it is merely a report about those who said this, and he wants to refute it. But this did not complete the speech; he did not take its aspect, nor describe it, nor take it from the side of the door.
