Discussion of the Ansar al-Sunnah Group in Egypt
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I had intended to reprint the book *Sighat al-Haqq* by the late Abu al-Wafa Muhammad Druwish. In fact, after hearing your answer, I will suspend its publication, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : They are the Ansar al-Sunnah. They had an excess in this regard. I mean, unfortunately, the Ansar al-Sunnah in Egypt benefited greatly in terms of creed and the oneness of Allah, but they were deficient regarding the Sunnah and did not serve the Sunnah as it deserves service. Rather, they planted in the minds of those affiliated with the Ansar al-Sunnah there matters from which the Sunnah disavows itself. Therefore, your position is good.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Or if it is printed with some commentary. I have not seen the book recently. If there is nothing else, it is good to comment on this point and print the book, because it is not hidden from you that the matter is as reported from Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) in his saying: "Allah refused to complete anything other than His Book." So any book that is published must have things taken against it, as it is authentic from Imam Malik: "None of us is there who has not been refuted and refuted others." If there is nothing in this book except this point, I advise that it be published with the commentary.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
