Is the Tahrir Party one of the misguided groups?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the Tahrir Party, do we consider them one of the misguided groups, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : The Tahrir Party, my brother, as a party, is not established upon the Book and the Sunnah. But as individuals, as a group, it is not permissible for us to make a general statement. We do not apply this to the Tahrir Party, nor to the Muslim Brotherhood, nor to the Tabligh group. Rather, the ruling is made generally regarding the methodology. The methodology is not upon the Book and the Sunnah. Then, regarding the individuals, a ruling is made on each person and what their belief entails, whether it is correct or deviant. Therefore, it is not permissible to make a general statement declaring a group misguided as a whole, meaning the entire group. This is not permissible.
