What is your opinion of the statement by Shaykh 'A'idh al-Qarni
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: There is a question, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : There is a new cassette by Shaykh 'A'idh al-Qarni titled "Flee from Sectarianism, Your Flight from the Lion." In this cassette, he says, "Whoever compels people to adopt the Hanbali or Maliki school of jurisprudence, or to be Salafi or Tablighi, must be called to repent, otherwise he is to be killed." Do you know what the Shaykh's answer is?
The Shaykh : This is a slip of the tongue on his part, because he equated the methodology of the Salaf with the methodology of the Khalaf. This is a grave error. I think it was a slip of the tongue on his part, because the methodology of the Salaf is the methodology of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), his Companions, and the three generations who are attested to be the best. Perhaps he intended something else.
