Refuting
the mistakes of Sayyid Qutb, Hasan al-Bannaa et al
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
What is your opinion regarding those who refute the mistakes
of some of the books of Sayyid Qutb, Hasan al-Bannaa, Mustafaa
as-Sibaa'ee and other than them from the people whose mistakes
affect the 'aqeedah
of every Muslim; whilst others say: it is not permissible
to refute their mistakes since they are mujtahidoon (those
qualified to make ijtihaad
- calculated independent reasoning). So what is your opinion
regarding those who say this and their likes, and (may) Allaah
reward you with good?
Response:
In reality, certainly these (people) have evil mistakes in
'aqeedah,
and that which is obligatory upon the Muslim, rather, obligatory
upon the people of knowledge is to clarify the truth. As for
the people of knowledge remaining silent regarding the falsehood
until it is widespread, then this is not permissible, ever!
Rather, whoever refutes them, then he is regarded as a mujaahid
in the Path of Allaah.
