A brief reply to the lie and slander of Yasser Qadhi

markazmuaadh.com/5376

Yasser Qadhi said regarding Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah,

“This is the level of fanaticism and the Takfeer is a level of neo Kharijizm
that I simply cannot tolerate, to consider the entire Ummah to be Kaafir and
Mushrik other than yourself is not mainstream Islam.”
Since when did Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah consider the
entire Ummah to be Kaafir and Mushrik?! Authobillah min alkadb.
Indeed, Allah said:
‫} إﻧﻤﺎ ﯾﻔﺘﺮى اﻟﻜﺬب اﻟﺬﯾﻦ ﻻ ﯾﺆﻣﻨﻮن ﺑﺂﯾﺎت اﷲ { اﻵﯾﺔ‬
Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah clearly said:
.‫ وﻻ أﺧﺮﺟﻪ ﻣﻦ داﺋﺮة اﻹﺳﻼم‬،‫ﻻ أﻛ ّﻔﺮ أﺣﺪاً ﻣﻦ اﻟﻤﺴﻠﻤﯿﻦ ﺑﺬﻧﺐ‬
“I do not make Takfeer of anyone from the Muslims due to a sin nor do I take him out of
the fold of Islam.”
(Risalat ila Ahlil Qaseem)
Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah responded to claims that he
makes Takfeer of the one who swears by other than Allah that this is a slander and a great
lie:
:‫ أن أﻗﻮل‬،‫ﯾﻘﺎل …إﻧﻲ أ ّﻛﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺣﻠﻒ ﺑﻐﯿﺮ اﷲ… ﺟﻮاﺑﻲ ﻋﻦ ﻫﺬه اﻟﻤﺴﺎﺋﻞ‬
!‫ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻚ ﻫﺬا ﺑﻬﺘﺎن ﻋﻈﯿﻢ‬
“Glory be to Allah the Most Perfect indeed this is a great lie” (Nur:16)
(Risalat ila Ahlil Qaseem)
Rather, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah distinguishes between
the act of Kufr and the person that commits Kufr that he would not make Takfeer of them
specifically without first establishing the proof against them.

Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah refuted these many allegations
in his lifetime when he said, “as for the statement that I make Takfeer of masses then that
is from the slanders of the enemies those who obstruct this Deen and we say,
!‫ﺳﺒﺤﺎﻧﻚ ﻫﺬا ﺑﻬﺘﺎن ﻋﻈﯿﻢ‬
“Glory be to Allah the Most Perfect indeed this is a great lie” (Nur:16)
(Al-Durrar alSaniyyah 1/99,100)
Likewise, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad AbdulWahhab rahimahullah mentioned about
those that go to the graves for worship due to ignorance and that he does not make
Takfeer of them specifically “so how then can I make takfeer towards those that
do not even commit shirk?!”
