The Shaykh’s Guidance and Advice on How to Debate and Confront the Preachers Who Spoke Ill of Him and of the Salafis Following the Fatwa on Emigration?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: Yes, what happened with you?
The Shaykh : I advised him to divide the group into two categories.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : One category is like the brother, what is his first name, the one I mentioned earlier.
The questioner: Yusuf al-Azhm.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : I mean, those who do not harbor resentment, hatred, or envy in their hearts. As for these people, his approach with them should be as he said. And the other people, like al-Faqir and al-Khalidi, whom I mentioned, saying that the Shaykh is senile, that these people did not issue their statements based on independent legal reasoning. So these people need to first read their articles and know what they contain, on one hand of ignorance, and on the other hand of bias that has no relation to knowledge.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Because you heard his statement that he means to place them under the category of one who exercised independent legal reasoning but erred.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But here, it can be said regarding some sincere, good people that they truly erred, so they have a reward. As for these people, it is clear from them that the issue is not one of knowledge and independent legal reasoning, but one of defamation and fishing in muddy waters. So I clarified these points and insisted on him, in particular, to listen to al-Faqir’s tape.
The questioner : As for al-Faqir, I do not have it available to me, and until now I have not listened to what he said about me.
The Shaykh : Strange.
The questioner : By Allah, I wanted to take it from you, but it did not work out. What I want to tell you, my uncle, is that we are going to Yusuf al-Azzam now. Do you have any objection to him speaking with the same talk?
The Shaykh: No, no, I have no objection.
The questioner : I just want to finish with Yusuf al-Azzam. We will not take much of his time. I told him that we will just reach you, take al-Faqir’s tape, and al-Khalidi’s article in the first newspaper. You have it, because I gave you the copy I had, because...
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, it is available with me.
The questioner : I told him to go out, listen, and see, so that he is in the clear when he speaks to them and responds to them.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : So, my uncle, we will just finish with Yusuf al-Azzam, then I will come to you, take the tape, and take the first newspaper. The second newspaper is available to us.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: If Allah wills, my uncle. Okay, may Allah give you health.
The Shaykh : Welcome, may Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: With your permission, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner: Yes, what happened with you?
