Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. The questioner says: Recently, there has been a spread of declaring this state to be disbelievers, and that its scholars do not know the fiqh of reality.
Answer:
Al-Shawkani’s purpose in quoting Ibn al-Qayyim was to refute those who claim that Ibn al-Qayyim said that supplicating to the dead and seeking aid from them is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah) and that it is practical disbelief. They lied about Ibn al-Qayyim; they lied about Ibn al-Qayyim. Al-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted Ibn al-Qayyim’s words to refute them. Be aware of this.
