Some people say: that distributing some tapes of non-Salafis is an endorsement of them and their methodology; so what is your answer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : To complete this matter; meaning, some of those who prohibit this matter say: that in distributing a hadith or a tape of such people, there is an endorsement of their methodology, as if it is approval of everything they say?
The Shaykh : I believe that this is an exaggeration. If we assume a man who compiled a treatise in which he gathered the hadiths of dhikr from "Sahih al-Bukhari," and he is not Salafi in methodology, how can this statement be true of him? And what is the connection between distributing such a treatise and supporting his methodology?
No, we support our methodology by distributing his treatise; because he followed our way in selecting what is authentic from our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so I believe that there is an exaggeration, and Allah knows best.
Please proceed.
