Discussion on the permissibility of the Tahrir Party seeking the aid of disbelievers

The Shaykh: They are enthusiastic and have ideas left over regarding seeking the aid of disbelievers, which they call "support." They take a hadith that occurred during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the era of the strength of the Islamic state, even though this is contrary to what? The principle established by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself when he said: . So they reversed the principle and built their party on what? On seeking support. Perhaps you know that in some of their stages, they claimed they could seek support from Iraq, or they wanted to seek it, and they did not hesitate about this, whatever it was...

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes, exactly.

The questioner: Khomeini.

The questioner: Their evidence, excuse me, Professor, their evidence that they rely on regarding support.

The Shaykh: Some incidents occurred in the biography of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) regarding seeking the aid of some polytheists.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes, but I am saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this in specific circumstances, and I said in the height of the strength and power of the Muslim state, even though he said: . Other hadiths came where a man from the polytheists fought with him, and he said to him: . So they reversed the issue from two sides: First, they did not notice the difference between their weakness today and the general weakness of Muslims, and the strength of Muslims in that era. So the scope of discussion, meaning the reality, is broad in this issue. In any case, we ask Allah to guide our Muslim brothers to what is good and right.
And perhaps this extent is sufficient.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And beware of that.

The questioner : And the truth is, this is a happy opportunity.

The Shaykh : May Allah make you happy in this world and the Hereafter.

The questioner: And I ask that the youth benefit from what I have said.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

The questioner : And that He may bless your life and benefit through you.

The Shaykh: May Allah preserve you, just as we thank you for having clarified for us some of the truths that many people are ignorant of.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh: There is no difference between.
