The Shaykh Al-Albani’s conversation with a student who claims he fears causing confusion for some people due to some of his fatwas regarding associations

The Shaykh : So, a question was presented to me, and the question contradicted reality, and I answered based on what was in the question?

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : So, did I answer with the truth or not?

The questioner : If Allah wills, I answered with the truth, regardless of ... the questioner.

The Shaykh : So then, why do you say you want me to issue a fatwa with the truth, and have you known of me any deviation from the truth?

The questioner : No, no, no, this ... means a fear that you might understand from me ... means ... this ... far be it from Allah.

The Shaykh : My brother, I understand, but I did not understand your goal from this call.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : I did not understand your goal from the call, but the argument led you to say to me, "I want you to issue a fatwa with the truth." I did not understand what your goal is from this call. May Allah forgive you.

The questioner : In any case, I hope, O Shaykh, that you will pardon me. I did not want to ...

The Shaykh : My brother, I did not understand what you want from me.

The questioner : ... but I want to say that a tape from you reached me, and you spoke about these associations in a way that is ... the questioner. So I fear that they will confuse you ... that you are contradictory, and you have a good standing in the hearts of the youth, but this is what I want.

The Shaykh : Okay, may Allah reward you with good. If they confuse me, what do I do? Do I know the unseen? If the hypocrite says to me in his heart, "I am a Muslim," what do I say to him?

The questioner : I mean, if they confuse you, or if they show you the opposite of what the questioner who asked you before said, it is possible that ... likewise ... as they broadcasted about you, so that you close the door on them ...

The Shaykh : Okay, may Allah reward you with good and guide you.

The questioner : Amen, may Allah reward you with good, may Allah preserve you. What service can I do for you, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : May you be safe, and greet Shaykh Maqbul and everyone who asks.

The questioner : Hmm.

The Shaykh : I say, may you be safe, and greet Shaykh Maqbul and everyone who asks.

The questioner : Okay, may Allah reward you with good and may Allah preserve you. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The student : ... Abu Talhah.

The Shaykh: How.
The student : On two pages ... from Abu Talhah, the charitable association.

The Shaykh : Who is Abu Talhah?
The student : Abu Talhah al-Hadrami ... this brother who was ...

The Shaykh : Yes, Abu Talhah al-Hadrami.
The student : Shaykh, there is another message.

The Shaykh : Who is Abu Talhah, him or ...?
The student : No, this is not his voice. This name is probably the brother who was here a short time ago.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : ... small ...

The Shaykh: There is no power nor strength except with Allah.
