Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Such as His saying - the Exalted - : [Al-Baqarah 2:216] .
The questioner: Allah is the Greatest!
The Shaykh: It is better for us and worse for our enemies, and the first of them is this wretched one. This one destroys his house in a moment of time, he makes people disbelieve, and the people... emotions, why don't you ask how this is? He wants to say so-and-so is a Shaykh of deception, even though it is from the strange decrees of Allah that this Shaykh is described as... and even if it is possible to add the phrase that he claims or says or something similar to that, that he follows the Book and the Sunnah and is a Shaykh of hadith, and he says what do we say? Praise be to Allah, he says he brought what the predecessors were not able to bring, and the like of that, meaning the understanding of the attendees is complete, orThose present: That... who is so-and-so? So-and-so? Do you testify for him, whether he exaggerated or not? There is no one among those who contact me who says, "We are sorry that you described him as a deceiver and as one who follows Judaism," and so on. It is true that you said such and such.
The questioner: Allah is the Greatest!
The Shaykh: I said to one of them, "Did you hear the sermon?" He said, "No." "Well, did you hear that he said: 'The Algerian who emigrates from Algeria to the land of Palestine, to the rule of the Jews, it is better for him than if he emigrates to an Arab Islamic country?'" No one moves except you. I said, "Is that what I said?" I said, "Emigration." Well, emigration is agreed upon. The same Shaykh al-Qalqili quotes from Ibn Kathir's tafsir the obligation of emigration. Allah is the Greatest. And the truth is, since I came here, and before the crisis intensified, I see the Palestinians, except those whom Allah protects, taking from the nature of the Jews: the women... the houses, as if they are strangers. There is no covering, there is no legal hijab, and so on. They were influenced by the atmosphere of the Jews before the Jews... what? occupied their land. They were their neighbors.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: So they took from their customs. What do you think now? Allah is the Greatest.
The questioner: My Shaykh, if it were shown to you, meaning if it were possible for you to be shown a tape from 1948, which is what we will call the lands that they first seized, the issue increases and increases with you, meaning the description does not come in words from me.
The Shaykh: Correct. .
The questioner: That is, a complete tape is transferred regarding the situation and their Judaization. One says to me, "My Shaykh, their language is Hebrew, meaning they study the subjects in Hebrew. Tourism, the Knesset, their buying and selling, and so on, meaning like a resident in America. Can he mean that he can go outside the American atmosphere? He cannot. He is immersed in this."
The Shaykh: This is why the group does not notice these things. They only notice the intifada.
The questioner: My Shaykh, love of Palestine has overwhelmed them. By Allah, I had brothers, and I said, meaning among the sins of these people and these nations is that they made the love of Palestine in our hearts greater than the love of religion.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner: My brother, worship Allah alone.
The Shaykh: Correct. This is the reality, unfortunately, unfortunately.
The questioner: Yes.
The student: ... the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Shaykh: What? What?
The student: The Al-Aqsa Mosque will be demolished if the Palestinians emigrate.
The questioner: There is no power nor strength except by Allah. My Shaykh, this fatwa was from years ago, not days. It was not raised in these days?
The Shaykh: No, it is not a problem... .
The student: Shaykh, you mentioned it years ago.
Another student : Two and a half years, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: No, but no, I...
The student: There was a discussion between you and some...
Another student : I attended it personally, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: I do not have it, but I naturally, due to the many gatherings and lectures.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: I remember that this issue was raised in Zarqa.
The student: For the elections, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes, but I do not remember from years ago.
The student: The tape, my Shaykh, its number is number 527, a complete tape.
The Shaykh: From when? From which year? Ah.
The student: My Shaykh, allow me, my Shaykh. Two years or two and a half years ago, when we were invited in al-Baqaa, in the courtyard that has the grape tree, and our brother al-Jawabira came, named al-Jawabira, and Muhammad Ra'fat and so on. So one of the young men of al-Baqaa stood up and asked you this question, and there was a big commotion, even from our brothers, meaning even our brothers were, in the beginning, surprised by the matter. Yes, so this is about two and a half years, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: But now I say, my Shaykh, and Allah knows best, that this issue was not raised except for the elections.
The Shaykh : That is correct.
The student: So that some people rise on the back of...
The Shaykh: Yes, yes, among them is this one who says that the Arab countries are disbelievers. Well, if that is the case, why does he enter parliament?
The student: Allah is the Greatest!
Another student : When he was a minister.
The Shaykh: This is a man.
But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you
