Guidance on Refuting the Innovations and Misguidance of al-Maliki
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers asks, saying regarding the refutation of al-Maliki: It is sufficient and satisfying for those who read it. As for those who do not read or write, they are approving the innovations and misguidance to which al-Maliki called. We hope that you, may Allah preserve you, will write to the preachers of the congregational mosques to express disapproval of him and to make the truth clear to everyone. Please note that I am from the Western region, and there are many there who are approving the innovations he has published. We ask Allah, and then you, may Allah preserve you, to task the preachers with making the truth clear in all lands, especially the Western region, because of the innovations occurring there?
Answer:
The questioner is asking about what has happened with the person known as Muhammad 'Alawi al-Maliki, who authored books in which he committed many errors and great mistakes. Some of our brothers among the scholars have pointed these out, and we have previously pointed them out on multiple occasions. Our brother, the distinguished scholar Shaykh Abdullah ibn Sulayman ibn Muni', has written a good book about this, titled "Dialogue with al-Maliki." That is, Muhammad 'Alawi al-Maliki is one of the most important teachers in the Sacred Mosque.
This man had authored a book titled "The Muhammadan Treasures." In this book, he committed great, disbelief-level mistakes. He transmitted matters relating to calling upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeking refuge in him, asking him for aid and victory, and other forms of associating partners with Allah. He mentioned types of religious innovation in it, and stated that he knows the unseen and that he can guarantee Paradise for whomever he wishes. He also mentioned other innovations, such as celebrating the Mawlid, and other things that were pointed out in the introduction of the book and in the refutation. The book was distributed, and more than one hundred thousand copies were printed. In fact, we printed one hundred thousand copies, and we have been informed that others have also printed it. It was distributed in the Western and Eastern regions, and both inside and outside the country. We called upon him to repent to Allah.
We ask Allah to grant him repentance so that he may announce it to the people and be saved from the disgrace of this great evil and major affliction. We will follow up on this, if Allah wills, with the preachers and others among those from whom it is hoped that they will announce this good and blessing for the Muslims. For calling to Allah, clarifying the reality of the oneness of Allah, and the reality of associating partners with Allah is a necessary matter... This is the obligatory duty of the scholars. We ask Allah to assist the scholars and to guide all the scholars to what brings the pleasure of Allah and what brings the well-being of the servants and the lands.
