The questioner: Our dear Shaykh, your recent remarks were that our brother, Shaykh Abdullah al-Sabt, disparages and exaggerates in criticizing some, I mean, the callers to Allah or, I mean, the people of the Sunnah and the people of hadith and others in our time, I mean, because they differ with him in opinion or something like that. Is there any truth to this, I mean?
The Shaykh: By Allah.
The questioner: I convey to you, I mean.
The Shaykh: I have no accurate information about this man except fragments of news, and Allah knows their truth. The last thing that reached me was that he says about the Tabligh group that they are upon the Sunnah. Yes, and then I heard a tape of his, I heard a tape of his, and I did not like his speech; it seemed unlike what we know. Yes, do you know that he is from the group of Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq? Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: He was in Kuwait and is now settled in the Emirates, and there he seems to have established a Shaykh around... I mean, and a group is gathered around him. The bottom line is that I do not have a collection of statements that would allow us to say he said this or that, except as reported by some of them. So Allah knows best.
The questioner: ... Our Shaykh, the speech he says.
The Shaykh: How.
The questioner: I say that Shaykh Abdullah has good speech regarding purification and education, and the methodology of the Salafis, and refuting the activists... I have heard from him... and the truth is, I did not know before that he was, I mean, Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq.
