The Shaykh Ahmad al-Manamiyyah Will: Its Reality and the Muslim’s Duty Toward It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A lengthy letter was received by the program from a listener (Mufattah A. W.) from Libya. Included in the letter was a copy of that will, whose author claims to be Shaykh Ahmad. It also appears that this alleged will of Shaykh Abdulaziz reached Libya. Is there a word for those people? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, this will has been circulating for a long time, for decades. We wrote about it a long time ago when I was at the university, and after that, we stated that it is denounced, that it is invalid and has no basis. It is a fabrication attributed to Shaykh Ahmad, and it is a fabrication attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); it has no basis. In fact, it is invalid. It says: write it and distribute it, and whoever does not distribute it, and whoever does not write it, such-and-such will happen to him, and such-and-such will befall him, and whoever distributes it, such-and-such will happen to him... All of this is invalid, all of this has no basis.
So it is obligatory for whoever finds it to burn it and destroy it. We have written a treatise about it that has been distributed for a long time, explaining its denunciation and its invalidity. Yes.
The presenter : So this letter is invalid, and everything in it is invalid?
The Shaykh : Invalid, yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. You advise people...
The Shaykh : Except for what agrees with the Shari'ah, yes.
The presenter : Except for what agrees with the Shari'ah. Allah is the Helper, Allah is the Helper.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
