Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. Regarding the hadith of the fly and its denial by the scholar Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi, who has a long history in matters of creed, should his books and hadiths be denied because he denied a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
We are not aware that Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi (may Allah have mercy on him) has a long history in spreading creed. Rather, his long history is in spreading the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, and all his books are on this subject. We are not aware that he has a long history in spreading creed, calling to the oneness of Allah, and denying shirk (associating partners with Allah). We are not aware of this. Yes.
