Question:
This questioner says: I read in a book about the biography of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) that a messenger came to him with a message, and Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab did not like it, so he killed this messenger. Is this narration authentic?
Answer:
This is a lie, this is a lie. The Shaykh did not kill anyone. Rather, they are the ones who fought, so he fought them. When they fought the Muslims and fought those who held fast to the Shaykh's call, he fought them. This is jihad in the path of Allah. Yes. We have spoken about the Shi'ah. He killed one who came to him; this is from lies. Yes.
