Approximate transcription of the English translation of the audio:
Question: What is your advice concerning the one who speaks ill of Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree and speaks ill of others from among the scholars?
Answer: Indeed we have spoken earlier concerning the virtue of ýilm (knowledge) and the ýulamaa (scholars). And no doubt we mentioned that which is due to the scholars from huqooq (rights) as has been mentioned by the likes of Ibn al-Qayyim and other than him concerning the rights that are due to the scholars and affairs that revolve around that meaning.
Indeed Shaykh ýUbayd is a man from the ýulamaa of Ahlus-Sunnah. He is one of the ýulamaa from Ahlus-Sunnah.
Like others from the ýulamaa, he makes mistakes at times and he is correct at times. He is correct with issues and he may make mistakes with issues. But we do not believe though, that our shaykh, like other than him from amongst the mashaykh, intends upon making mistakes. Just as Imaam Maalik was erroneous in issues, and just as Imaam Ahmad was erroneous in issues, they may make mistakes in issues and they are correct in issues.
But to go past that -- and to go further and to cause a mistake a shaykh may have made, or you believe he may have made, to make you to speak ill of the scholar and to degrade or and disrespect the shaykh, like how some people disrespect Shaykh Muhammad Amaan or Shaykh Rabeeý and others, then this is from the most false types of falsehood.
And the just the lowly nature of this speech suffices us to have to speak about it. Just narrating the statement (of falsehood) is a sufficient refutation of it.
It is likewise befitting and a must that we know that many of those who speak concerning our shaykh and the mashaykh, if you were to ask them regarding the issues related to tahaarah (purification) then they would be ignorant of that. And these same individuals before a number a days were individuals who used to phone the shaykh to ask him regarding some of these simple issues related to tahaarah. And now in this day we find them speaking ill of the same shaykh that they were asking just recently about issues related to tahaarah and seeking answers from the shaykh.
So let them fear Allaah, subhaanahu wa ta ýalaa, indeed Allaah, azza wa jal, does not love dhulm (oppression) or that one would practice dhulm. So let them fear Allaah, subhaanahu wa ta ýalaa.

Ash-Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree 2007
Question: Some of the people speak ill and defame our Shaykh, Shaykh Ubayd al Jaabiree and say that, 'He is not from the major Scholars' and that 'in fact, he is not from the Scholars at all' and 'He doesn't have any recommendations from the Fatwaa Committee' and so on.
So what is your advice to us and to them?
Some Points From The Answer:
 | quote: |
| If you were from the people that has some ýaql, weýre not speaking about virtue, but just 'aql, intellect then you would know about that which you are saying about Shaykh 'Ubayd. |
|
| quote: |
| If you were a person of intellect you would have sufficed to say that "He does not have a recommendation from the Lajnah committee" but the fact that your saying that, "He is not from the Ulamaa". This is a ruling and a judgement upon him from yourself, and who are you to judge and pass a ruling upon our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Ubayd. |
|
| quote: |
This statement of yours don't forget that it is going to be written, as Allaah, The Most High has mentioned:
{{THEIR TESTIMONIES ARE GOING TO BE WRITTEN AND THEY SHALL BE QUESTIONED ABOUT THEM}}
So Allaah is going to question you about this statement of yours about the Shaykh, and this verdict that you have passed upon the Shaykh (that he is not from the Ullamah)
{{THEIR TESTIMONIES ARE GOING TO BE WRITTEN AND THEY SHALL BE QUESTIONED ABOUT THEM.}}
So prepare for yourself an answer for that day, prepare for yourself an answer for that day that you are going to be questioned regarding your statement concerning Shaykh Ubayd and how you passed this judgement upon him.ý |
|
| quote: |
| ýConcerning Shaykh Ubayd then it is sufficient for you to ask the Scholars that are present today, the likes of Shaykh Rabeeý and others from amongst the Scholars. Likewise, what the Scholars that have passed away have said concerning Shaykh Ubayd, the likes of ash-Shaykh Hammaad al-Ansaari, Shaykh ibn Baazýý |
|
| quote: |
| ýHe is from the first of those who graduated from the Islamic University of Madeenah. When the Islamic University was first opened and Shaykh Ibn Baaz was in charge, and the likes of Muhammad Ameen ash-Shanqeeti and al-Albaani were teaching, he was from those that graduated under the likes of these Scholarsýý |
|
| quote: |
| ýAs far as the Fatwaa Committee recommending the Shaykh, then if you have something by way of intellect and you have Taqwaa, then when you here what I am about to say you will return from what you have said about the Shaykh. Shaykh Ubayd was the head of the Fatwaa Committeeýs department for ýIslamic Verdicts and Researchý in Madeenah for a period over 10 years! The Fatwaa Committee in Riyaadh has a department in Madeenah that was established by Shaykh Abdul Azeez bin Baaz, and Shaykh Ubayd was the Head of that section for over ten years. So who put him in charge? Was it you or was it Shaykh ibn Baaz?! So is that a recommendation or not a recommendation? Is Shaykh ibn Baaz going to put someone in charge that doesnýt deserve it? Ask yourself, do you have a recommendation from the Fatwaa committee or from Shaykh Ibn Baaz?...ý |

Shaykh Falaah went on to mention a beautiful story of when he, himself was a student at the Islamic University. He mentioned that he went to visit Shaykh Ubayd at the Fatwaa Committee office along with a group of students from Kuwait. He met Shaykh Ubayd and introduced himself. Shaykh Falaah mentioned that although he wanted to visit the Fatwaa Committee again, he didnýt have the opportunity for the period of two whole years, due to him being busy with his studies. However after that period of two years he had to opportunity to visit them once again. He mentioned that when he entered upon Shaykh Ubayd, Shaykh Falaah said ýAs-Salaamu ýalaykum wa Rahmaatullaah.ý Shaykh Ubayd stood up and said ýWa ýalaykumus Salaam wa Rahmaatullaah O Falaah O Ibn Ismaýeel!ý Shaykh Falaah said that he was amazed that he had only sat with him once for 15 minutes and then didnýt see Shaykh Ubayd again for two years and even though Shaykh Ubayd is blind, he still recognised his voice after that period of time.
| quote: |
| ýSo he is blind and only recognised me from my voice! Shaykh ibn Baaz placed him in charge of the Fatwaa Committeeý So fear Allaah o servant of Allaah, he is from the closest of people to Shaykh ibn Baaz, from the closest of people to Shaykh Ameen ash-Shanqeeti may Allaah have mercy upon themýý |
