Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A brother asks and says: We heard that your book, *Adab al-Zafaf* (Etiquette of the Wedding), contains a page retracting the ruling on gold rings. Is this true, and didThe Shaykh : Ibn Baz discuss this issue with you, clarifying that...?
The Shaykh : The Shaykh : Who?
The questioner : Ibn Baz.
The Shaykh : These are new lies we have been hearing for years. These are people from among the enemies of the Sunnah. It is a great shame that I supposedly retracted my statement based on the authentic hadith:Sunan Abi Dawud 4236Hasan (Al-Albani) and so on. The new thing now is that the book was printed and that I retracted.
The questioner : And with it a paper.
The Shaykh : And with it a paper. I think all of this is fabrication. It is possible that there is something I do not know about, and it was done without my permission. Because the truth is, my son-in-law, Nizam, was in Egypt about two months ago, and he brought me a copy of *Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah* (The Chain of Authentic Hadiths) that was stolen. It was printed with new type, not just photocopied, and there were responses to me attached in two places or more. Do you see how far the audacity and lack of manners and theft have gone? That my book is printed without my permission and responses to me are attached to it. There is no objection to responding to me in any other way, but that my own book is responded to. It is something one cannot imagine.
The questioner : In families...
The Shaykh : What is there, what do you want from them?
