Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: All right, our Shaykh, regarding Khomeini.
The Shaykh: Khomeini, yes.
The questioner: So, in the newspaper, when we read in a chaotic manner, Al-Albani permits, as you say:
The Shaykh: Which newspaper is this?
The questioner: The newspaper Akhbar al-Usbu', without mentioning that he saidThe Shaykh : They mention the title, as you say... If he says so and so, then he is a disbeliever.
The Shaykh: Is this being reported to you?
The questioner: Brother Ahmad himself said we read it in Akhbar al-Usbu'... he says the wordsThe Shaykh : One hundred percent, but the enemies of Islam exploited it, but the title, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Meaning, between the one who says so and so is a disbeliever, and that so-and-so is a disbeliever.
The questioner: Of course, meaning, whoever says these words is a disbeliever. They say Al-Albani declares someone a disbeliever.
The Shaykh: This is hunting in murky water.
The questioner: If you allow me, I am not familiar with the fatwa. If you would be kind, would you clarify it for us?
The Shaykh: The fatwa is published in about two pages in some magazines or newspapers, then it was printed in its text and in my handwriting, and printed in typeset letters next to it in a book recently published titled "Unveiling the Secrets" by Khomeini. Unveiling the Secrets by Khomeini, which is naturally written in Persian, but one of the doctors here translated it into Arabic. I think his name is Dr. Ahmad Jamal. Do you know this figure? He is from the house of al-Khatib, Ahmad al-Khatib, whose father has a bookstore.
The questioner: Ahmad al-Khatib, Al-Aqsa Bookstore.
The Shaykh: What is the father's name?
The questioner: Ahmad al-Khatib.
The Shaykh: If the father is Ahmad, then this son's name is not Ahmad. In any case, the point is that the summary of the fatwa is that we came across phrases by Khomeini where he says so and so, four or five phrases. These phrases are disbelief in itself, and whoever says these words is a disbeliever or is declared a disbeliever. We explained there the reasons necessitating this ruling. Without a doubt, when a Muslim reads the same words, no matter how shallow his Islamic knowledge, he does not doubt that these words are disbelief. Therefore, for example, he says in some of his books that the Imams of the People of the House are of the two stations with Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), above the station of the angels, the messengers, and the prophets. And among that, he says that the Mushaf of Fatima—I think this is mentioned among the things—the Mushaf of Fatima is the complete Mushaf, while the Mushaf circulating today in people's hands is a part of that Mushaf. This is disbelief in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Hijr 15:9] And so on, four or five phrases quoted from his books, Khomeini's own books. Yes.
The questioner: Regarding Gabriel, he descended upon her.
The Shaykh: Upon Fatima, yes. Gabriel descended upon Fatima, yes. These things are very serious. And his book that he issued in the early days of the Iranian Revolution, which is the book known as The Islamic Government. I don't know if you have seen this small booklet?
The questioner: No, my professor.
The Shaykh: You haven't seen it. I have been having inflammation in my nose for a while, so sometimes it gets blocked or runs, and it makes breathing a bit difficult for me. In this small booklet that he called The Islamic Revolution or The Islamic Government, even though this book is a propaganda book, and it is supposed for all Muslims and disbelievers that any political writer should not publish in such a book the beliefs that he knows the opponents will deny and will rush to not respond to the content of the book in general. And even though the Shi'ah have a belief that helps them the most in following this political path, which is concealing their beliefs from people, in that they have something called taqiyyah. You must have heard of taqiyyah, something?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So, the matter with them regarding taqiyyah is very serious, to the extent that a person cannot know that they have taqiyyah and rely on them, because they say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. And this is their religion, so if he tells you about something and he knows he is lying, he is not at all embarrassed by these words, because this is his religion from which he comes. Taqiyyah commands him to do so. And with the fact that they have this taqiyyah which justifies for them to say whatever they want, and on the contrary, more than that, to conceal their beliefs from people, but Allah (Mighty and Majestic) by His perfect wisdom inspired this man, Khomeini, in the aforementioned booklet "The Islamic Government" to reveal some of the beliefs, even though it is a propaganda and political book. Among them is what I mentioned earlier of his exalting the People of the House more than the angels, the prophets, and the messengers. And among that, and this is another disbelief, is that they mean the People of the House know every movement that takes place in the universe. There is no atom that falls in the universe but they are aware of it, even though the People of the House have died. They died and became dust, whatever their status. So they made them partners with Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in knowledge. Meaning, very strange things. So our Lord (Blessed and Exalted is He), to establish the proof against those who are deceived by their propaganda, provided this man to put in this booklet, which is a propaganda book, the two false beliefs. One of them is sufficient to free people from being deceived by what they called the Islamic Revolution. And unfortunately, when this revolution rose, some Islamic figures were deceived by it, and perhaps they went to them. Some of them returned and the truth became clear to them, and some are still to this day calling to their call, like thisThe Shaykh : One named As'ad Bayud, yes.
The questioner: And he also wears the long abaya and the turban.
The Shaykh: I haven't seen him. Have you seen him?
Abu Layla: Yes, and I knew him before, but not in this personality. Even when I saw him from afar, it was going out of my mind that he is Iranian... Even al-Barqawi warned him so he wouldn't give him a chance to speak, and the people caught up with him... in the mosque...
The Shaykh: You will see him in this attire.
The questioner: By Allah, I didn't pay attention.
The Shaykh: All right, did you see him up close?
The questioner: Maybe up close, a month ago.
Abu Layla: I saw him
The Shaykh: And in the same attire, meaning so the doctor can see him when he changes his attire, meaning he no longer changes his attire.
The questioner: His beard is white, and he wears glasses, and he wraps the turban in a round shape like Khomeini's round wrap, and he makes it, meaning, a look. So when he returned from Iran, his wrap was like the Iranian religious men, the mullahs, who are the religious men, they wear a black wrap. So Khomeini wore it a lot, this black wrap, and sometimes the white one. So for a long period he was wearing the black wrap, and now it is white.
Another questioner: The black wrap means he is from the People of the House, do you see? And the white wrap is for the religious men other than them. Meaning, in Iran, it is not valid except for Khomeini and everyone who claims to be from the People of the House, knowing that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave
The Shaykh: This is now As'ad Bayud, is his turban black or white?The questioner: Now it is white.
The Shaykh: Now it is white. When you saw him, was his turban black?
Abu Layla: I think it was white.
The questioner: Black, after he returned from Iran for a period. And because I pray in the mosques a lot, I pray in them, and wherever I catch the prayer, there is a mosque near his clinic. So I went and prayed in it after he returned from there, and he was wearing the black wrap. He sat with it for a period, then he left it, and now for a year he has been wearing the white turban.
The Shaykh: Khomeini, yes.
The questioner: So, in the newspaper, when we read in a chaotic manner, Al-Albani permits, as you say:
