Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz Rebutted the Innovator Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq, For Slandering and Belittling the Saudi Ulama
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
The Mubtadi Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul khaaliq (may Allaah guide him) stated:
Indeed the group of scholars in Saudi are
in a (state) of complete blindness and ignorance regarding the new
problems and their Salafiyyah is Taqleediyyah (i.e. Salafiyyah based on
blind following) and it is not worthy of anything.
Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) responded:
This speech is false, for indeed the
scholars of Saudi are acquainted with the problems of the era and indeed
they have written a lot about it, and I am from them- Bi hamdil laah!
Indeed they have written in that regard that which cannot be counted
(i.e. numerous) and they- Bi Hamdil laah- are among those who are the
most knowledgeable of the Madhab of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa’ah and they
follow that which the Salafus Saaleh followed in the subject matter of
Tawheed, Asmaa Was-Sifaat, the subject matter of warning against bidah
and in all the abwaab (areas of knowledge. Read -if you are ignorant-
the Majmoo’ah of Ibn Qaasim (Ad-Durar As-Saniyyah) and the Fataawaa of
our Shaikh Muhammad Bin Ibraaheem (rahimahullaah). Read what we have
written in that regard (i.e. the affairs of the era) in our Fataawaa and
our books are widespread among the people.
There is no doubt that what he (i.e.
Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq) said about the scholars of Saudi is not
correct- it is a mistake and a munkar (evil affair). It is obligatory
upon you (i.e. Abdul Khaaliq) to recant from that and announce that in
the newspapers in Kuwait and Saudi. We ask Allaah for guidance- for
ourselves and you- and a return to the truth and steadfastness upon it.
Indeed He (Allaah) is the best of those who are asked. [Source: Al-Majoo
