The questioner: His EminenceThe Shaykh .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: I read in the book "Collective Action" ... about collective action based on the Book and the Sunnah ... sometimes plurality, and therefore I have reservations about the wording of the question that was presented ... .
The Shaykh: What ... .
The questioner: I read the book ... .
Another questioner: Should we respond to him directly or ... ?
Yes, O Shaykh 'Abd Allah, I also read the book, and I followed the articles ofThe Shaykh : 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abd al-Khalq in the magazine al-Furqan, and in some of the cassettes as well in which he speaks. I found that the man wants collective action in the partisan sense and nothing else. And I have the evidence, and it is very close at hand; I mean, if you wish, I am ready to bring it, meaning in a little while.
The Shaykh: No, we want you to ... .
Another questioner: Yes, the evidence is there. He attributes it to the Shaykh al-Islam, who was in prison - may Allah have mercy on him - in Egypt, and he writes to his group, or in the correct sense to his students in Damascus, and says: What are the news of the group? And this is a common term meaning the companions and friends and the like. So he uses these phrases of the Shaykh al-Islam as evidence that there is a group with an entity and an organization in the partisan sense that he wants. Likewise, he also published this book in response toThe Shaykh : Maqbul when he spoke about rejecting partisanship and hating partisanship; so he published this book and criticized him, and although he did not state his name explicitly, it is known; becauseThe Shaykh : Maqbul has a cassette in which he spoke about this, and perhaps the cassette reached your eminence.
The Shaykh: It did not reach me, I supported it.
The questioner: So in this book, he givesThe Shaykh : Maqbul his due regarding what he published in this cassette, and we know that Maqbul's cassette on this is of the highest quality, and praise be to Allah.The Shaykh : This is of the highest quality, and all praise is due to Allah.
The Shaykh: I supported him in this.
The questioner: Who did you support, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The Shaykh : Maqbul.
The questioner: The pronoun refers to ... .
The Shaykh: And I sent the cassette to the brother 'Abd al-Rahman, but - may Allah bless you - the important thing is that the research remains scientific and not just circulated like this among people, because it will cause more confusion, and we need to reduce that. So if you have a study of his sayings and the errors you have seen in them, and you have compiled them in a paper, and you responded to them with your calm scientific style - if Allah wills - there will be benefit in that.
The questioner: If it was not published, but since it was published, the ... looked at it.
The Shaykh: I am telling you to publish, just as he published, you publish.
The questioner: This question in such a context is exactly like publishing.
The Shaykh: Correct, but - may Allah bless you - it requires comprehending what he said, comprehending what he argued with, and comprehending what is refuted against him, and this is not possible in my current state.
Other than that?
The Shaykh: Yes.
