The questioner:
And he brought out this paper and said, "This is a bequest from the Holy City of Madinah from Shaykh Ahmad Hamid, the mufti of the Haram. What is your opinion, may Allah grant you success, on this?"
The Shaykh:
This bequest is invalid. They attribute it to the servant of the Prophet's Chamber, Ahmad, or the keeper of the keys to the Prophet's Mosque. This bequest has been circulating for decades, appearing from time to time in the Arabian Peninsula, in Arab countries, in India, in Pakistan, in Indonesia, in Morocco, and everywhere. There are those who promote it from among the invalid companies and the promoters of falsehood. It contains lies about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it contains invalid matters, and it states that whoever writes it
The questioner:
And he took this paper and said, "This is a bequest from the Holy City of Madinah from Shaykh Ahmad, the keeper of the keys to the Haram. What is your opinion, may Allah grant you success, on this?"
The Shaykh:
This bequest is invalid. Do they attribute it to the servant of the Prophet's Chamber, Ahmad, or the keeper of the keys to the Prophet's Mosque? This bequest has been circulating for decades, appearing from time to time in the Arabian Peninsula, in Arab countries, in India, in Pakistan, in Indonesia, in Morocco, and everywhere. There are those who promote it from among the invalid companies and the promoters of falsehood. It contains lies about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), it contains invalid matters, and it says that whoever writes it and distributes it will receive such-and-such a reward, and whoever leaves it and does not distribute it will be such-and-such, and such-and-such a calamity will befall him. All of this is invalid, all of it is a lie. It is obligatory for whoever comes into possession of it to destroy it, burn it, and tear it up, because it is invalid and false. You should inform those behind you, O brothers, that this bequest attributed to Ahmad, the servant of the Prophet's Chamber, or the servant of the Prophet's Mosque, or the keeper of the keys to the Prophet's Mosque, is all a lie and invalid. It must be destroyed and burned. Yes.
