Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the students of knowledge says that Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on them all) is one who declares people disbelievers based on general statements. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is a false statement. The Shaykh was one of the most skilled scholars in this matter (may Allah have mercy on him), and he does not declare people disbelievers based on general statements. Rather, he declares disbeliever only the one whom Allah and His Messenger have declared a disbeliever by evidence. Yes, but these people are being unjust to the leaders of the Da'wah and to the scholars. This is part of their speech. Yes.
