Did Ahmad Shakir's refusal to discuss with you bequeath a refusal from you toward him, or a campaign against him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Ishaq: All right, my Shaykh, here is a point I would like to clarify, and it will benefit us all. Regarding Ahmad Shakir (may Allah have mercy on him), his refusal to discuss with you: did this not bequeath a refusal from you toward him, or toward his writings, or a campaign against him?
The Shaykh : Never, never, and praise be to Allah. But I said that perhaps the man was in a family situation, as he mentioned to me the first time I met him, that his wife was ill. It is possible that this illness continued until he met you the second time. But I find nothing in my heart at all—welcome, Abu Salah, how are you?—I find nothing in my heart but respect and high esteem for him. Yes.
