The questioner: ... But you taught us that we must follow the evidence. I told you that the phrase "O believers, and seek forgiveness from Allah, so He will forgive you" is the first part of a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). One of the people said—I do not have the hadith memorized—he said he said , and the second one used to say ... to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) "I am innocent," so he said .
The Shaykh : There is a difference, my brother, between you saying it about yourself and someone else addressing you with the term of faith.
The questioner : My intention is the evidence, based on the fact that you taught us to take the evidence.
The Shaykh : You do not need it. So you, and you, and these people—do we rule that they are...
The questioner : Muslims.
The Shaykh : Listen, may Allah guide you.
The Shaykh : Do we rule that the crowd in front of me now are Muslims who do not have faith?!
The questioner : No, yes.
The Shaykh : Do we rule that they are Muslims who do not have faith?
The questioner : Yes, we do rule that.
The Shaykh : So then?
The questioner : We are coming from Yemen ... al-Zindani, and we have more than one Shaykh in Yemen who were forced to enter parliament. Do we boycott them? Hey Shaykh, do we boycott them, O Shaykh? May Allah reward you with good, we are your guests?
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Inform the Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I am your guest from Yemen, O Shaykh ... and I am leaving.
The Shaykh : Call me.
The questioner : I tried, I called, I could not. I am traveling. Allow me, I am your guest.
The Shaykh : Do you understand me? Are you passing through now, or are you staying here for days?
The questioner : ... And after a few days I will travel, if Allah wills. May Allah reward you with good, respond to us, O Shaykh, we came with the intention ... .
The Shaykh : Okay, but let the brothers return.
The questioner : ... Shaykh, a question about boycotting, just one.
The Shaykh : Do you understand me or not? I understood you, did you understand me?
The questioner : Yes, I understood you.
The Shaykh : What did you understand?
The questioner : You are leaving now and it is late.
The Shaykh : My brother, may Allah guide you, be patient with me. Are you traveling today or staying here for days?
The questioner : I am staying here for days.
The Shaykh : I am telling you, call me at night from eight to nine, I will answer you about everything you want.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you.
The Shaykh : This is what I am saying.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, thank you.
The Shaykh: Peace be upon you.
