The Shaykh al-Zindani's situation.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi: Our Shaykh, regarding al-Zindani, did you meet him?
The Shaykh : No, but I read his book "Faith". It is good, and by Allah, his style is wonderful, but it contains some weak hadiths.
Al-Halabi: It deceived him.
The Shaykh : Ah, like the other shaykhs, I mean. But unfortunately, he listed the names of one hundred scholars who approved the book. Well, he did not find a scholar in the Islamic world to help him verify these hadiths and purify them, so that it would be one hundred and one instead of one hundred. I am not saying that as for me, I will not be free, as you know, but there is no lack in this world of someone who would say to him...
Al-Halabi: A local one.
The Shaykh : A local one, without doubt, he would clarify many of the hadiths for him. I did not find a weak hadith except for the hadith: "What is the exit, O Messenger of Allah?" The hadith of 'Ali.
Al-Halabi: A hadith containing news of those before you.
The Shaykh : He said it was narrated by al-Tirmidhi and he graded it weak. This is the only hadith, and by Allah, the book is very valuable in its subject.
Al-Halabi: And most of his focus, as far as I can see, is on tawhid al-rububiyyah (oneness of lordship) and knowing the Creator.
The Shaykh : And the verses of the horizons.
Al-Halabi: And the verses of the horizons.
The Shaykh : It appears that he specializes in this aspect, and as is not hidden from everyone, specialization is beneficial.
Al-Halabi: Our Shaykh, may Allah benefit through him greatly. Many doctors, I mean professors, who are Christians, came across things he says. He says, "This Qur'an says this," and he says, "Yes." He has a tape called "Embryology in the Noble Qur'an". He had amazing things in it with names. Once we met a Canadian professor in such-and-such, and we met a French professor in such-and-such, and one became Muslim and one did such-and-such, meaning, what Allah willed, he is very active, what Allah willed. And the last thing, he challenged the communists in Yemen who wanted to unify Yemen on communist ideology. He said, "I am against you."
