The Shaykh’s warning about a new group originating from Egypt that claims to be upon the Book and the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Therefore, we now find in the Islamic world a group that has emerged anew. They appeared from Egypt and then spread their ideas and poison in much of the Islamic world. They claim to be upon the Book and the Sunnah, and how similar their claim is to the claim of the Khawarij, completely! Because they, too, claimed to adhere to the Book and the Sunnah, but they interpreted the Book and the Sunnah according to their desires, paying no attention whatsoever to the understanding of the righteous predecessors, especially the Companions among them. I have met many individuals from these people, and on a recent trip to Jordan for the second time, I debated one of their leaders. He explicitly stated that he does not consider the interpretation of a verse valid, even if it came from dozens of Companions! If the interpretation of a verse came from dozens of Companions, he does not accept that interpretation if he does not see it as correct.
And this person who says this cannot read a verse without mispronunciation, error, and mistake in it. This is the reason for the deviation of the old Khawarij, who were pure Arabs; so what do we say about the modern Khawarij of today, who, if they are not non-Arabs in reality, are Arabs who have become non-Arabic in their speech, and are not non-Arabs who have become Arabized? This is their reality. These people explicitly state that they do not accept the interpretation of the text at all unless the predecessors agreed upon it. This is what their speaker says, in order to deceive and mislead. So I said to him: Do you believe it is possible for the predecessors to agree on an interpretation of a text from the Qur'an? He said: This is impossible. I said: Then do you want to adhere to the impossible, or are you hiding behind it? He shrank back and fell silent.
