Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: And by the way, have you heard that Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq, before the Gulf crisis, issued a document in which he spoke about Saddam Hussein and that he is suitable for the caliphate, and so on? Have you heard of this, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh: No, I have not heard of it. As for him being suitable for the caliphate, I have not heard that. But when he overcame the Shi'ah, they issued a statement praising him highly. As for his nominating him for the caliphate, I have not come across this. In any case, our brother Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq, perhaps you know that he was a student at the university and that he originally came from the Muslim Brotherhood.
The student : Yes, it is known.

The Shaykh: And there at the university, he adopted the Salafi methodology, and Allah benefited the people of Kuwait greatly through him. But in the end, he turned to political work, and the benefit in terms of da'wah (calling others to Islam) decreased. He issued some letters and books that follow the path of the Muslim Brotherhood and the like.
The student : The Muslim Brotherhood.

The Shaykh : And political work.
The student : The Muslim Brotherhood.

The Shaykh: Yes, yes, and he supports political work. I read a letter of his in this regard, containing very serious words that reveal what political preachers are upon, which is what we always say: that they proceed from the premise that "the end justifies the means." So he gave an example that can be considered a clear explanation of what we accuse them of, namely that they proceed from this premise, "the end justifies the means." He said: "It is necessary for the Muslim in this time to commit some forbidden acts."
The student: There is no power or might except with Allah. And this was said by others among us in ... .

The Shaykh : Like this?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : He wrote this in the letter.
The student: This was said in its meaning, for example. And what is wrong with the Muslim Brotherhood if they are upon some sin? Now they are coming out ... this is clear speech, by the way, meaning in the context of criticizing the group ... .

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : I ask Allah...

The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper.
The student : There is no power nor strength except with Allah!
