The spread of what is called Islamic video, featuring the sermons of some shaykhs and preachers; some believe that the shaykh’s appearance in voice and image is more impactful
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Now, video has spread here... and it is what is called Islamic video.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner: ... lectures or sermons or such; also, there is in... they call it the corner, the Islamic video corner, where they display images of some shaykhs... for the benefit of the call, the issue of the visual call - for example - - may Allah protect us -The Shaykh : Al-Albani... .
The Shaykh: May Allah forbid it!
The questioner: May Allah forbid it! They say if he appearsThe Shaykh : in the image, it means there is strength.
The Shaykh: Its impact.
The questioner: Its impact is stronger than...; so we would like to revisit this specific point, may Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh: The question, briefly, in Jeddah a representative came to me from... Medina, and he said he had received questions from some students of knowledge and wanted to receive my answer to them, I told him: there is no objection, and we agreed on a specific day, then the appointment came and he mentioned something similar to your words but in a broader way, indicating that he wished to take a picture to publish above the article he would broadcast or print about me, so I listened to him a little, of course he embellished and decorated his request saying that this is more beneficial and more impactful when they know the imageThe Shaykh : and this philosophy. I told him: May Allah bless you, we do not hold this opinion; because this opinion could be adopted and followed if there were no texts prohibiting photography and keeping images, but the Messenger - peace be upon him - said:, and I entered into a lengthy discussion that some contemporary scholars distinguish between hand-drawn images, which are forbidden, and photographic images, which are permissible, and so on; so I said... and this is a rigid stance on the confusion of the process, even though the result and the fruit are the same, after that I dismissed what he asked of me, and the problem is that part of the article was in the first episode, and perhaps in my absence the rest will be published.
So the point is: we do not see photography except for necessity, or what is required by need and does not contain harm, and this is the summary of what preceded, and now forgive me, I am resting.
Recording tape: " *** and whispers in the chest from which it writhes
Who is it for whom the pure is not pure *** some of it becomes impure and some of it becomes pure
Every person has two natures *** "
The questioner: ... - also - this is what I am asking about, but there is a reprimand.
The Shaykh: This is what I heard, there is nothing wrong with it.
The questioner : There is nothing in this.
The Shaykh: Yes, exactly; but we heard the example that you referred to.
The questioner: This... the brothers in Kafir al-Batin.
The Shaykh: No... what I hear, I said I wanted to hear it.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: This resembles Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah’s Nuniyyah.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh: So it is. Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... I heard it in my car, it was a tape that did not narrate this.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: Do you think... what they call religious is of this kind?
The questioner: No, there are the collective anthems... there is no problem with this.
The Shaykh: No problem, but... the second section.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: Go ahead, let us see.
The questioner: ... it encourages jihad; anthems of jihad: "Our youth, our youth *** come to jihad".
Another questioner: We have this in Saudi Arabia, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : .. .
The Shaykh: These, they say about it in Syria: "A rise..." - "Everyone laughs" - .
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: ... the Arabs know the camel-driving song, so the camel-driving song became for humans!! "Everyone laughs" .
Recording tape: " ... our path is the path of the fathers *** strangers, strangers" .
The Shaykh: ... . "Everyone laughs" .
Recording tape: "Strangers, strangers
Who cares about the chains *** we will proceed to eternity" .
The questioner: Okay; the speech... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner: The decisive speech in this, the brief speech in this matter?
Another questioner: Its summary.
The Shaykh: We did not speak earlier, my brother; if a poem is in the Arabic language and it contains... it contains encouragement to seek knowledge, it contains encouragement to patience, to courage, to steadfastness when meeting disbelievers and enemies, and so on, and in the correct Arabic dialect not affected by... non-Arabic languages and musical laws; then there is no objection to it; but the present age rejects this old style, it wants to bring the forbidden near by the name of the desired, and the desired now is... musical; even the reciters today have become those who recite the Qur'an and many of them adhere to musical recitation!! You will find one... he will rise with the verse and... and descend considering not... the situation in which there is a response to the verses with awe and desire, but with musical scales; if they have brought down the word of Allah upon these laws; how do they not understand such things and more in the poems?!
I ask Allah - Mighty and Majestic - that, why do I always hum with the Book and the Sunnah on the methodology of the Salaf? Because the one who does not know the Salaf cannot know the evil that befell the Khalaf.
