The
Shaykh advises President Gadaffi of Libya

Concerning
the Imaam, the Shaykh - 'Abdul-'Azeez
ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah),
Doctor Bassaam Khidar ash-Shatee narrates:
"From
amongst his noble actions was when he called the President
of Libya, Mu’ammar Gadaffi, and informed him of the
prohibition of removing the word {Qul}
from the soorahs
(of the Qur.aan), and that pronouncing it was obligatory.
The Shaykh did this, because he had heard the President had
ordered the radio stations and the reciters in the masaajid
to stop (reciting the word {Qul}),
as he had also had the official textbooks changed to affect
this order. As a result of Shaykh Ibn Baaz’s call, the
President was convinced and returned to that which was (Islaamically)
correct.
Likewise,
when he called the former President of Tunisia and explained
to him Allaah’s ruling regarding the ud.hiyah sacrifice
and fasting, and that both of them do not adversely affect
the path of progress and development (of a nation), and he
gave the former President convincing evidence to prove this.”
