Is it true that some people say that the Muslim Brotherhood is more harmful to Muslims than the Jews and Christians?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The first question, which asks: Is it a correct statement that the harm of the Muslim Brotherhood to the ummah (the Muslim community) is greater than the harm of the Jews and Christians?
The Shaykh : What does this mean? We take this into consideration; their harm may be greater, but we do not treat them as we treat the Jews and Christians.
The questioner : Without a doubt, it is as if Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal [may Allah have mercy on him] is taking the path of choosing the lesser of two harms.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is sound speech, but I fear that there is exaggeration behind this, such as declaring people disbelievers (takfir) and expelling them from the fold of Islam, and the like. As for what you mentioned, it is entirely valid.
