Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We want, if Allah wills, that is, Shaykh Nasser tells us that, if Allah wills, we follow everything that Shaykh Nasser follows from the authentic Sunnah ... if Allah wills, that is.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.
The questioner : But I wonder if Shaykh Nasser supports any of the brothers, whether they are the Salafis or ... or so on, and specifically, it is no problem, that is, this fatwa can be relied upon by Shaykh Nasser often in Egypt.
The Shaykh : My brother, in many tapes we speak about all the parties existing today in the Islamic arena and we say that every party is pleased with what they have, whether they are the Muslim Brotherhood, the Tahrir Party, or others. Let us go, come on. Allah says:[At-Tawbah 9:119].
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And be with the victorious group, who are the strangers. And who are the strangers? They are those who hold fast to what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were upon. And the Muslim Brotherhood, please, we need to go, they are waiting for us.
The student : May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : What did we say? The Muslim Brotherhood do not hold fast to what the righteous predecessors were upon, nor do they claim affiliation with the righteous predecessors. They and others say, "We are with the Book and the Sunnah." Every sect, no matter how deeply rooted in misguidance, cannot say anything other than that they are upon the Book and the Sunnah.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : The Mu'tazilah deny this attribution from themselves. No.
The questioner : The Ibadis ... .
The Shaykh : The Ibadis. Well done. So, what is the essential difference between the victorious group, the strangers, the saved sect, and returning to what the righteous predecessors were upon? Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
