The questioner : Shaykh, there is a hadith that has spread among us in Kuwait, and we do not know the authenticity of this hadith: ?
The Shaykh : A hadith from the Messenger?
The questioner : It is mentioned that it is a hadith.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest!! We say this with absolute certainty and conviction: it is a fabricated hadith.
The questioner : Hehehe.
The Shaykh : It is a fabricated hadith. We can say this: first, it is a legal ruling, a legal ruling, but what he says...
The questioner : That it is a hadith.
The Shaykh : No, we are done with the issue of it being a hadith; it is a fabricated hadith. But what he says as a ruling, and imposes on... I do not say on every Muslim, but he imposes on every scholar that he must take Islam from all its aspects. He says: You have burdened him excessively, rather, you have burdened him with the impossible. Because rising to the level of religious knowledge, in the Book and the Sunnah, through independent legal reasoning and derivation, is not something an individual can do. Rather, it is an obligation on the entire Ummah, meaning on the scholars of the Ummah. So the knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah is in the chests of the scholars of the Ummah, and it is impossible for the knowledge of the Book and the Sunnah to be in the chest of one scholar alone. Is that clear?
The questioner : Is that clear?
The Shaykh : This is first. Second: We know that this statement comes from some people who say what they do not do, and say what they cannot do even if they were to turn to doing it. These are the Muslim Brotherhood and their like, who criticize people like us for engaging in the scholarly call, and acting upon what Islam brought, which is called an individual obligation, then a recommended practice, and the known rulings in between. They see themselves as having taken all of Islam, and they have lied. They have turned away from the most important thing in Islam, which is correcting the creed. So the majority of them, except for a few individuals among them whose environment and circumstances helped them to meet the Salafi callers and understand their religion and creed in the correct way, as a party, they have remained since this party was established until today on the military system, in the sense that they do not advance scientifically. "Stay in your place," do you know this system?
The student : Stay in your place.
The Shaykh : Absolutely. For approximately seventy years, or sixty years, or less, you will find that these people have not advanced at all in religious reform, let alone in conduct, morals, worship, and drawing near to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with what He prescribed for people. This is a comment on that word. So this is a fabricated hadith, and its meaning regarding the obligation of an individual is invalid. Rather, this is a burden borne by the entire Ummah.
And this religion is not rectified except for the one who takes it from all its aspects
