The ruling on Saudi Arabia seeking the aid of disbelievers in the Gulf War.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the events happening in the region, if you would be so kind, what is your opinion on these matters?
The Shaykh : Well, the word "events" is very broad. For example, is your question about whether the Muslims deserve these events or not? Or is your question whether Iraq's aggression against Kuwait is prescribed or not? Or is your question whether the Saudis seeking the aid of disbelievers and allowing them to enter their lands is prescribed or not? What are you asking about?
The questioner : About all of it, roughly.
The Shaykh : What Allah willed.
The questioner : Briefly and concisely.
The Shaykh : "All of it" would take up the whole evening, but you should specify the point you want so that we can talk about it, even if only briefly.
The questioner : The Saudis seeking the aid of the disbelievers who are present?
The Shaykh : This contradicts the authentic, explicit hadith So this is a concrete, embodied error! And we have tapes, known to the brother, about this calamity that befell all Muslims in all their lands, and the most apparent of them is Iraq. Do you have anything else?
