| Question: Some of the youth have refrained from taking a position in (the issue) of Abul Hasan and some of them follow those students who defend him. |

The Shaykh responded: Those who refrain from taking a stance then they are a different kind, so clarify for them the issue of Abul Hasan and if they refuse by defending him, refraining (from taking a stance), Pretending to be ignorant and Blind then they are from the followers of Abul Hasan, warn against them. Either they return to Allaah if they have refrained from taking a stance. And the scholars have come out openly with the truth concerning him so why don?t they accept the sayings of the Scholars and their Fataawa if they are truly Salafis. Were the salaf like this at any period of time in their history. They would raise their aqeedah by clarifying the situation of someone from ahlul-bid'ah and label him an innovator, and then you would find the people uncertain and hesitant (to accept their sayings). This is something not found in the Manhaj of the salaf and neither in the history of salafiyyah. When more than twenty Scholars speak in this issue and then they reject their speech and he says (he) refrains from taking a stance this shows Hawa (desires). Either they return to the truth and accept the speech of the scholars or their fataawa or they are grouped with their Awliya and warned against.

| A word or two may vary from the writing above this is after listening to the tape of the Shaykh. The other question will be translated soon Inshaa Allaah. وقال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية: لا عيب على من أظهر مذهب السلف وانتسب إليه واعتزى إليه بل يجب قبول ذلك منه بالاتفاق فإن مذهب السلف لا يكون إلا حقا مجموع الفتاوى 4/ 149
