What is the difference between the victorious group and the saved sect?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... and the strangers. You have established, may Allah preserve you, that there is a relationship of generality and specificity between them, but I have not heard and I do not know whether the research was followed up regarding the victorious group and the saved sect.
The Shaykh : It was not followed up.
The questioner : Are they one and the same, or is there a relationship of generality and specificity between them, or are they two distinct entities? And what is your opinion on this?
The Shaykh : The research was not conducted on the victorious group. In fact, I was insisting on our brother here, Khalid, not to mix the topic with our subject. Our subject was between the saved sect and the strangers. As for the research on the victorious group, no research was conducted. I believe that the victorious group is either victorious through argument and strength, as is the nature of this victorious group always and forever, or it is victorious through jihad and fighting, as is stated in some narrations, as you may remember with me. In that case, the same victorious group, at times, some of its members join the saved sect, and at times they join the strangers. Is this clear?
The questioner : Either this one or that one.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Meaning, it is distributed between two matters.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And may Allah protect you.
The Shaykh : It was not followed up.
