How do we ask Allah to rectify the condition of an innovator like al-Saqaf?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How do you ask Allah to rectify him, I mean?
The Shaykh : No, it is our duty to ask Allah to rectify all the Muslims. If they do not deserve rectification, then Allah will take revenge upon them, if Allah wills.
Another questioner : This is if he is a Muslim.
The questioner : Our Shaykh, I mean, perhaps in his case only what Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) did would be of benefit. The people who were against him would rise up against his call and his creed, so he would establish courts of judgment and sit in them to judge them by these courts. Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh : But this time is not that time.
Al-Halabi : And even in that time, when they referred the matter to that judge, he said, "How can you judge when you are my opponent?" So how is it now, when they are all opponents?
