Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Khalid al-'Anbari: All praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and the badness of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides is not to be led astray, and whoever He leaves astray is not to be guided. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. As for what follows:
Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, the honorable Shaykh, the da'iyah, the scholar, the critic, the hadith scholar
The Shaykh : Leave that.
Khalid al-'Anbari: Muhammad.
The Shaykh : Leave those words.
Khalid al-'Anbari: Nasir al-Din al-Albani. Without a doubt, as Abu Qilabah said, "The scholars are like the stars by which one is guided and the landmarks by which one follows. If they are hidden, people become confused, and if they are abandoned, people go astray". Indeed, the youth today are in great confusion regarding the issues of faith and disbelief. Without a doubt, these issues are of great importance, and it is incumbent upon everyone to take care to verify them, for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) has tied happiness and misery to them. The disagreement in these issues was the first disagreement that occurred in this Ummah, between the Companions and the Khawarij, as is not hidden from your eminence. Therefore, it was necessary for us to raise some questions, perhaps Allah will benefit us with the answers from your eminence.
