A discussion regarding 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abd al-Khalq.

The questioner : Shaykh, as far as we have heard, you have given a response to a letter sent to you by 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abd al-Khalq regarding affiliation with groups. We need this response, especially since our brother 'Abd al-Rahman, may Allah guide him, has recently begun publishing many things that defend partisanship and affiliations, whether in truth or in falsehood, and often in falsehood. He employs a style of deception and deliberately claims that what he says is something with which no one disagrees. He fabricates matters that do not exist, such as claiming that those who say one should not affiliate with groups are, in reality, forbidding gathering to do good?

The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.

The questioner : For example, two or three people, or a group, do not gather in order to do good, and one person holds this view. But as I said, the man fabricates things and builds castles and heights upon them?

The Shaykh : We ask Allah to guide him.
