Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It has emerged from among the scholars, it has emerged from among the students of knowledge, that some say that Hasan al-Saqaf is a disbeliever. What is your opinion?
The Shaykh : What has emerged from some of the students of knowledge is that...
The questioner : ...that he says that Hasan al-Saqaf is a disbeliever.
The student : That Hasan al-Saqaf is a disbeliever, some of the students of knowledge.
The Shaykh : My comment is that whoever declares a Muslim to be a disbeliever is the disbeliever. Do you not believe with us in this authentic hadith? Then, do you not know that the man declares disbeliever the one who affirms the attributes of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) without likening Him to creation and without denial of the divine attributes, and calls them the people of ascribing a body to Allah? Do you know this? Then, do you know that he explicitly declares the Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah a disbeliever? I think you do not know, it seems. In the name of Allah, please proceed.
The questioner : He did not explicitly declare Ibn Taymiyyah a disbeliever, but he said that whoever says this statement is a disbeliever.
The Shaykh : Whoever says this statement, what? He is a disbeliever, okay.
The questioner : Meaning, he did not say Ibn Taymiyyah is a disbeliever, but he said...
The Shaykh : Yes, and what is the difference?
The questioner : The difference is that he may say he made a mistake, and he did not explicitly say that Ibn Taymiyyah is a disbeliever.
The Shaykh : No, he explicitly stated this when many of our brothers discussed... that he does not declare Ibn Taymiyyah a disbeliever?
The questioner : Bring the dates, Abu Ayyub.
The Shaykh : The Messenger expelled the jinn, and Ibn Taymiyyah expelled, but we do not know the method. These people, meaning the path they follow is the same path as the Messenger, of course. We know many of them do not, and secondly: are they sincere in their claim that they expelled them or not? In the name of Allah, the tooth was eaten and the lesson was ruined.
The questioner : ...the lesson...
The Shaykh: Hehehe.
The questioner : O our Shaykh...
Another questioner : O Shaykh, we did not get the answer. He says we did not get the answer. Can we complete it after the food?
The Shaykh : You may catch up with the prayer, and I will follow you.
The student : Let us go to prayer, brothers.
The Shaykh : No, it is moderate. I mix it in a way that cools this down. This kills the heat of this, and the heat of this kills the cold of this.
The questioner : The Shaykh :
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you all.
The Shaykh : What has emerged from some of the students of knowledge is that...
The questioner : ...that he says that Hasan al-Saqaf is a disbeliever.
