Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: According to the correct information on this, he said on the date of 22 Safar 1412 AH, corresponding to 1/9/1991 CE.
The Shaykh: How is your stay here, if Allah wills?
The questioner: Praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh: ThisThe Shaykh : He needs to let me rest, and this is the mark.
The questioner: O Shaykh, notice that he does not want to let it go, not a single word from the beginning.
The Shaykh: What Allah willed, there is no god but Allah.
The questioner: The producer is telling me to wait.
The student: Yes, O Shaykh, please go ahead.
The questioner: He says yesterday one of the brothers from Riyadh called me regarding this calamity that befell us, meaning regarding the subject ofThe Shaykh : Jamal (may Allah have mercy on him) and the like.
The Shaykh: May Allah have mercy on him.
The questioner: He mentions that he received news, or was informed by someone who heardThe Shaykh : Abdul Aziz ibn Baz when he was asked about this issue, so it seems he lightened the matter and softened its nature, saying this is a matter of revenge, an old matter of revenge, or something like that, and it is not, as is imagined, or that it is such and such, tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and bid'ah (religious innovation), and so on. So at length, we do not know now whether it was a misunderstandingThe Shaykh : or whether he said this word to soften the atmosphere and absorb the enthusiasm of some of the youth and the like. So this brother, and I am conveying his request, said we hope thatThe Shaykh : if you are able, that he speaks withThe Shaykh : Ibn Baz to clarify some of these matters to him. So my answer was from two sides. The first side is that first, our Shaykh, may Allah grant him healing and well-being, and second, this is not the methodology of our Shaykh to speakThe Shaykh : about these issues, especially since, for example, in the Gulf War, he did not speak
The Shaykh : Amen.
The questioner: I wanted, from the standpoint of fulfilling a trust, that
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner: May Allah bless you, O our professor.
The Shaykh: We ask Allah to rectify the conditions of the Muslims.
The questioner: We ask Allah for that.
The Shaykh: There is no god but Allah. In truth, we hear from our brothers news that is... the issue thatThe Shaykh : Ibn Baz referred to is known in those lands.The student: Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh: But it should be confirmed that this killing was due to the mentioned reason and not otherwise. In any case, the truth will become apparent. And now I hope that the reality is this and not something broader than that.
Al-Halabi : Oh, my goodness.
The Shaykh: Yes, of course.
The Shaykh: How is your stay here, if Allah wills?
The questioner: Praise be to Allah.
