The Permanent Committee: A warning against two books by Shaykh 'Ali Hassan al-Halabi

[Salafi-Dawahcom]

Question:

"Some people ask about the two books entitled "Al-tahdhir min Fitnat Al-takfir (the Warning Against the trial of Pronouncing Disbelief)" and "Sayhat Nadhir (the Cry of the Warner)" compiled by `Ali Hasan Al- Halabi . The two books call to the Madh-hab (school of jurisprudence) of Irja', which holds that actions are not a fundamental condition upon which the soundness of Iman (Faith) depends, and relate this opinion to Ahl-ul-Sunnah wal-Jama`ah (those adhering to the Sunnah and the Muslim main body). The author based the two books on distorted transmissions from Sheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, Al-Hafizh Ibn Kathir, and others (may Allah be merciful with them all). The advisors hope to see clarifications of the material of the books so that readers will be able to differentiate between truth and falsehood."

Question:

"He says Oh virtuous Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you spoke about the appearance of the phenomenon of Irjaa’ and we have heard that the Permanent Committee has retracted from its criticism of the book by al-Halabee and (the book by) ash-Shukree. And that al-Halabee visited the Committee and explained that the mistake is in this fatwa. Is this correct?"
