What type of disbelief is Khomeini's?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : For example, Khomeini declared his belief in what he called the Islamic government. This is undoubtedly disbelief. However, I do not think it is necessary to assume that every Shi'ite scholar holds this same idea. So I say that whoever holds this idea, whoever believes that the Qur'an in our hands is only a quarter of the true Qur'an that is in the Mus'haf of Fatimah, there is no doubt that the one who says this is a disbeliever. But I say that the Shi'ah are disbelievers because many of them, or because their book al-Kafi says such and such; this is not sufficient to generalize the term "disbeliever" to the Shi'ah or to the Rafidah. There are two reasons preventing this generalization. First, we cannot say that every Shi'ite scholar holds this disbelieving belief. Second, we must verify the second condition, which is establishing the proof. Both of these are missing. It is sufficient for us to say that these people are misguided. But with extreme precision, we must know their belief, either from their speech or from their writing.
The questioner: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah. What do you have? May Allah preserve you. Did you bring us nothing? So this is throwing without a thrower.
Abu Layla : ... For example, I might be invited by one of the brothers, and I am responsible for myself in this invitation. I fear that sometimes, in Allah, my difficulty increases over my difficulty, even the brothers had a place with me... I had an appointment, so they said, "Can we come?" I said to them, "By Allah, my brothers, I am invited, I cannot say 'come in' because the invitation might be private. But if I have a feeling that this invitation might... there is no objection..."
The questioner : Ask permission for them, and if permission is granted, enter; otherwise, return...
The Shaykh : What is your answer to this?
Abu Layla : I stopped, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Why did you stop?
Abu Layla : I thought, my Shaykh, that the guest brothers who came, that it might be a private gathering, and it would be awkward if you... the host of the invitation, so I did not want to call!
The Shaykh : This is my response to you, let alone them, because when you ask the host, the problem is solved!
Abu Layla : You come on the back of the host.
The Shaykh : Of course, of course, with tolerance in your expression, meaning you come on his back, not that you come on his back!
Abu Layla: May Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you too. Well, we have an errand. Where is our errand, 'Abd al-Latif? This is my second eldest son, I named him Abu 'Abd al-Rahman. This is 'Abd al-Latif, and his kunyah is Abu 'Ubadah. Where is our errand?
