Answered by Shaykh Al-Albaanee (1420 H)
Questioner: When you mention the statement:
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
{So ask the people of knowledge, if you do not know.}
[Surah al-Nahl (16): 43]
There come some doubts from the youth when the likes Shaykh Al-Albaanee,
or Shaykh `Abdul `Azeez bin Baaz, or others are mentioned to them. They reply
to them saying: Shaykh al-Albaanee or Shaykh `Abdul `Azeez bin Baaz, they have
understanding in Fiqh issues, and Hadeeth, and these affairs. As for the
affairs of Jihaad and fighting they require experience. So whom will we take
them matters from? From those on the front lines and from those who know these
affairs.
Shaykh Al-Albaanee: It is correct; al-Albaanee, nor
ibn Baaz or other than them know how to carry a weapon, but does this mean they
do not know the rules of Jihad???
Questioner: They know.
Shaykh al-Albaanee: What is the meaning of this
speech? This is from the lure of Shaytaan for them; he makes fair seeming for
them their verdicts that opposes the Book and the Sunnah.
Questioner: Another question. From their analysis is
that they say: Shaykh al-Albaanee or Shaykh bin Baaz do not have an
understanding of current events. They say: We live on the ground (in the midst
of things) whereas (only) Shaykh al-Albaanee authenticates books.
Shaykh Al-Albaanee: Very well. Give me a current
event and then give me the legislative ruling for it. Give it to me so we can
see. So we say to you; you know the reality of this event, but this reality
does not give you the ruling. The ruling is taken from the Book of Allaah and
the Hadeeth of the Messenger of Allaah.
Subhaan-Allaah, this obstinacy is very strange.
When the questions are presented to the scholars of the
Muslims from every country in the world, there come questions about affairs
which have taken place. Does the scholar know about the reality of these
matters? He does not know about the reality of these affairs, but the one
seeking the ruling describes these affairs as they took place.
Why doesn’t he take the ruling himself, from the reality of
these affairs, why does he ask the scholar?
This is because he knows—regardless of who hates it—the
scholar does not know about this affair but he knows the ruling for this
affair.
It is amazing that they justify their verdicts which are
based upon ignorance of the Book and the Sunnah just because they are more
familiar than so and so concerning the reality of the matter. May Allaah bless
you for your familiarity of this matter; but this familiarity does not give you
the ruling for this matter. It is a must for you to ask the scholars, just as
it has been stated in the Noble Quran.
Any question which the scholar is asked, it is not a
requirement that he is familiar with it as a reality; this is very normal.
In reality, this statement alone is enough to show these
people are deceived. Meaning they are deceived in their deviances in knowledge
because they know more about the reality of the current events than the
scholars.
O my brother everyone who has a problem—and they are
countless—then he will be more familiar with his problem than the scholar he is
seeking the verdict from. But he is not able to receive a verdict except by
asking the scholar. Thus we use the aforementioned verse as a proof against
them, for asking the people of knowledge.
Now some Jihaadist groups have been established, what do
they want? They want to strive in the cause of Allaah. Okay, so the scholars
and people of knowledge do not know the rulings for this Jihaad, and if it is
possible or not? And is it necessary to prepare first, especially the
preparation we often mention which is a spiritual preparation?
Subhaan-Allaah…with Allaah help is sought.
