The questioner : The principle of excuse due to ignorance that you, may Allah preserve you, adopt, which is thatThe Shaykh : Al-Albani does not declare the common Jews and Christians disbelievers, and this principle was adopted by some young upstarts until they even exaggerated in the matter
The Shaykh : until
The questioner : they exaggerated in the matter, meaning they said things that this occasion does not allow us to mention, and that it is from the saying of the Murji'ah, and that, and that, and so on. Of course, what is your comment, may Allah preserve you, on this question?

The questioner : It is said about you that you mention this; it is a rumor. I mentioned that it is a rumor.
The Shaykh : Then it is a lie, slander, and fabrication. If they fabricate about a personThe Shaykh : and they have killed him repeatedly and over and over, it is no wonder that they fabricate some words and attribute them to him.
