Question: al-Qaradawi has called on Muslims in
Chechnya to lay down their arms and live peacefully as
part of Russia under the authority of the servant of
Russia, the lewd sinner Ramzan Kadyrov, who switched
sides and came out against the Mujahideen and became a
member of the Russian police.
What
is the opinion of the respected Sheikh (Yasser Burhami)
regarding these statements? We ask
you for the sake of Allah, to speak the word that will
assist your brothers in Chechnya, as the sheikhs of
evil are speaking out one after another, day and night
to deter them from their Jihad. Answer
by Sheikh Yasser Burhami: Praise be to Allah, peace
and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, and
then: The
fatwa by al-Qaradawi is extreme in its condemnation
and falsehood! What is the difference between the
Caucasus and Palestine?! And why doesn't he give a
fatwa to inhabitants of Palestine telling them to be
part of the Yahudi (Jewish) state?! O Allah, verily,
we renounce this delusion for Your sake. The
original of the fatwa can be read on the website of
Sheikh Yasser Burhami. ***
In
relation to this we would like to note that some
scholars from Ahlus Sunnah issued a takfir (declaring
apostasy) on Yusuf al-Qaradawi, take for example what
Sheikh Abu Baseer at-Tartousi said: "In
connection with these and other reasons, we say that
he (Yusuf al-Qaradawi) has changed and his beliefs
have changed, he permits what Allah has forbidden, he
has fallen into evident disbelief, and we see no
obstacles issuing a takfir on him, unless he repents
before the people for all of the acts and statements
of disbelief that are attributed to this man, and
Allah knows best." You
can read more of the words of Sheikh Abu Baseer at-Tartousi
at this link.
Also,
when Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon
him) was told that al-Qaradawi praised the democracy
of "Israel", and then at the pulpit he said verbatim
the following quote: "Even if Allah announced His
candidacy in the election, he would not get such a
high percentage of votes, i.e. 99.99%, which the Arab
rulers receive", to which Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen
replied: "This
is an apostasy", and because of his mockery and the
elevation of the creation over the Creator, said:
"He
must be called to repentance - he should declare
repentance from the same pulpit from which he uttered
words of disbelief, but if he does not repent, he must
be killed as an apostate". |
