Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. He says: Is it true that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) was weak in hadith? And is it true that there are fabricated hadiths in the Majmu' al-Fatawa?
Answer:
O, glory to Allah! This is an attack on the scholars and a disparagement of the scholars. I wish we knew this speaker; what is his rank in the science of hadith? Has he reached the level where he judges Shaykh al-Islam to be weak? And others among the scholars that they are ignorant of hadith, or that they are weak? In his knowledge, meaning it implies that he is strong in hadith, while Shaykh al-Islam is weak in hadith. There is no power or strength except with Allah. It is obligatory for a person to know his own standing and not utter such words about the scholars. He should strive in their sciences and in their established scholarly ranks. He should know his own standing. He should be ashamed of Allah and His creation that he speaks such words.
