The Shaykh’s remarks regarding Sa'id Hawwa.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... He was raised by Sufi shaykhs, and he attended very few of my lessons in Damascus, perhaps two or three; I do not remember.
The questioner : Who is he?
The Shaykh : Sa'id Hawwa, then we do not know with whom he associated and how he strengthened his position among the Muslim Brotherhood. Then, as you know, a disagreement arose among them. So he took one path, and others among them took another. His writings contain [various views]. In his later writings, in some of his letters or books, a degree of fairness and moderation appeared, yes, and an acknowledgment that the path they were following, in terms of gathering people solely for the call to Islam without it being accompanied by understanding, thought, and upbringing, does not produce an Islamic generation. This is what I read in some of his later letters.
