The questioner : May Allah preserve you, O honorable father. It is said that you hold to opinions that have not been preceded by others, such as the ruling on the prohibition of gold rings, the ruling that a pilgrim must return to his state of ihram if he has not performed the Tawaf of Ifadah before the sunset of the day of Eid, and the ruling on the obligation of greeting. I hope for clarification, and may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : As for the opinion on the obligation of greeting, it has already been discussed previously.
As for the other two issues, they are false, because it is my policy not to state an opinion or adopt a legal ruling unless I have been preceded to it.
Both of the issues mentioned in the question, namely the opinion on the prohibition of gold rings for women and the other opinion that one who has thrown the pebbles of the Jamarat al-Aqabah on the Day of Sacrifice, then exited the state of ihram and put on his shirt or clothes, then nightfall came upon him and he had not performed the Tawaf of Ifadah, these opinions are not based on any religious evidence that we have reached and stopped at.
Secondly, and this is the point, for each of these two issues, I have predecessors in them, and I have explained this sufficiently in the book *What Relates to Gold* in *Adab al-Zafaf*, especially in the new edition that was recently published. In it, we responded to some who claim to be from the people of the Sunnah but who harbor a strange hatred for some of the people of the Sunnah and try to track down their stumbles and expose them among the people, claiming that they have contradicted the consensus, while turning a blind eye to all the texts we mentioned. We did not say that gold rings are forbidden only we; rather, a group of the righteous Salaf preceded us to this, and specifically Imam al-Baghawi in his book *Sharh al-Sunnah*.
As for the other issue regarding returning to the state of ihram, it is detailed in my treatise *Hajj and Umrah According to the Book and the Sunnah and the Opinions of the Righteous Salaf*. So whoever wants the truth with fairness should refer to that, at least, so as not to accuse the innocent of contradicting the consensus, as that hateful, envious person claims.
As for whether he is convinced or not, Allah is the accountant of every person.
As for fabricating and lying, this is undoubtedly a very serious matter from the Islamic perspective, because whoever accuses a Muslim of what he does not have will have a severe punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and in the Noble Qur'an:[An-Nisa 4:112] This is the answer to this question.
