Dear honorable Sheikh, is it a sin to share suspicions about Islam?<\/p>\n

Yes, it is a major sin.<\/p>\n

Some people share these things just for fun.<\/p>\n

My dear, let me tell you, we have many major sins; i.e. killing, zina<\/em> (illegitimate sexual intercourse). The greatest sin is:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201c\u2026and to say about Allah what you do not know\u201d<\/strong> (Al-Baqarah<\/a> 2:169)<\/p>\n

I remember, it happened that one of our scholars from Ash-Sham was in Egypt.<\/p>\n

He witnessed the death of one of Egypt\u2019s great scholars.<\/p>\n

The Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar, the greatest religious position.<\/p>\n

He swore, \u201cWhen the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar was on his deathbed, he raised his hands and said: \u201cOh my Lord,<\/p>\n

I\u2019m innocent of banking fatwas.\u201d The greatest scholar in the Islamic world<\/p>\n

On his deathbed, raised his hands to Allah and said that he is innocent from these banking fatwas<\/em>!<\/p>\n

By this he means giving fatwa without knowledge. By the way, a person may give fatwa without knowledge.<\/p>\n

But who is the true sinful? It is he who gives fatwas inconsistent with the truth he already knows.<\/p>\n

He knows the truth, even though he gives fake fatwas.<\/p>\n

For the sake of an interest.. The Qur’an reads, \u201cThose who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him and do not fear anyone but Allah\u201d <\/strong>(Al-Ahzab<\/a> 33:39)<\/p>\n

When the scholar or the mufti fears anyone but Allah, he speaks falsely and flatteringly<\/p>\n

And ignores the truth out of fear, his da`wah <\/em>is no more valid.<\/p>\n

What is the fundamental attribute of a scholar?<\/p>\n

It is to be knowledgeable of what he is versed in.<\/p>\n

So, if he is not knowledgeable, he is not a scholar anymore.<\/p>\n

Why cars are called cars? Because they walk on wheels<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThose who convey the messages of Allah and fear Him\u201d<\/strong> is one attribute and \u201cand do not fear anyone but Allah\u201d <\/strong>is another<\/p>\n

When the scholar or the mufti fears anyone but Allah, he speaks falsely and flatteringly and ignores the truth out of fear.<\/p>\n

Then, his da`wah <\/em>is no more valid.<\/p>\n
