It is said in Egypt that there was a conflict between Shaykh Al-Albani and Zuheir al-Shawish; is this true?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : They are saying now in Egypt that there was a conflict between Shaykh Nasir al-Din Al-Albani and Zuheir al-Shawish, and so on?
The Shaykh : No, that is a lie. The only thing that happened is that the events that took place in Lebanon and my move from Damascus to here caused the natural relationship that existed between us to be severed. It was affected by the Lebanese war on one hand, and the impossibility of contacting him personally as I used to do, where I would drive my car from Damascus to Beirut to discuss his printing of certain matters.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. Otherwise, this claim is undoubtedly false. But what happened is that due to the distance, he began to exert his own effort in some matters, for example, adding comments based on his opinion and independent legal reasoning to some of the letters, and he thinks there is nothing wrong with that. As for the exaggeration you mentioned, praise be to Allah, it has no basis.
The questioner : It has no basis.
