The questioner : I add to what was said:The Shaykh : Do they mean by "free thought" a personal understanding of the scriptural evidence?
The Shaykh : Yes, but the scriptural evidence is in their claim.
The questioner : In their claim, that is what I am saying.
Abu Layla : Our Shaykh, their departure from the path of the believers.
The Shaykh : Shall we go, Professor, or not?
The questioner : I would like to add to the words ofThe Shaykh : Muhammad Shuqara, now there is Yusuf al-Qaradawi, may Allah correct us all, who has written a thousand books supporting al-Ghazali’s book, "The Prophetic Sunnah and How We Deal with It." He supports his method throughout the line. And he addressed some rulings, and among those rulings is shaking hands with a non-mahram woman. He leaves the authentic hadithSunan Ibn Majah 2874Sahih (Darussalam) and argues with the hadith of the girl who stood with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), interpreting it to mean that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was shaking her hand. Then, in his book "Faith and Life," he comes to one of the fabricated hadiths, from the hadith of Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), which is found in "al-Tabarani’s Great Encyclopedia," and writes six or seven pages to derive inferences from this hadith.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar! There are many things of this type.
Abu Malik: I say, our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, meaning so that the students of knowledge may be at ease. I always say to our brothers, the students of knowledge, leave these modern writings, leave them, and hold fast to what is old from the past era and what resembles it in this time. Because these modern, contemporary writings have actually destroyed the correct Islamic culture, and they have also stirred up the youth without awareness or correct understanding of the principles, rules, and foundations of knowledge. Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, our brother Ibrahim Diab invites you on Friday to a lunch for the 'aqiqah of a daughter who gave birth to a new son, adding him to the ranks of the pioneering family.
The Shaykh : Twins, I heard.
Abu Malik: No, because with every daughter, our Shaykh, she gives a son, meaning when she gets married.
The Shaykh : Yes, but the scriptural evidence is in their claim.
The questioner : In their claim, that is what I am saying.
