The Ruling on the Book *Al-Sawa'i' al-Ilahiyyah* in Refuting the Wahhabis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that the brother of Shaykh Sulayman ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab wrote a book refuting his brother?

Answer:
There is a book currently existing that refutes him; it is *Al-Sawa'i' al-Ilahiyyah* in refuting the Wahhabis. Allah knows best whether it is authentic in relation to him, or whether it was fabricated. Sulayman was initially not in agreement with the Shaykh, but in the end, he repented to Allah.
And his repentance is documented; it is also in *Al-Durar al-Saniyyah*. Yes. Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If we suppose, if we suppose that Sulayman was in disagreement and continued in that disagreement, would this harm the Shaykh? Was not Ibrahim al-Khalil’s father in disagreement with him? Was not the son of Noah (peace be upon him) in disagreement with him? This does not cause harm. Do you see? Yes, if we suppose that Sulayman continued in his stubbornness, yes.
