How do we respond to them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How do we respond to them?
The Shaykh : We respond to them with great ease. We say, in the first place, that it is not possible that, if we assume the meaning of your statement was that he heard it, meaning infallibility, this is tied to a condition, which is wilayah (guardianship). And wilayah has a limit: "those who believed and were mindful of Allah." Where is the taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) of a man who treats the forbidden as permissible? So we say, in the first place, we do not acknowledge that you are among the awliya (close friends of Allah). Yes, we say you are awliya, awliya, we say you are awliya, but for whom?
The questioner : For Shaytan (Satan).
The Shaykh : The matter is over.
The questioner : That is enough, O Shaykh, they have become three.
The Shaykh : Three, very well.
