Fowzaan: Al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimoon are Hizbiyyoon (1433/5/26)

[Moosaa.Richardson]

" الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه

رأيي في الإخوان المسلمين أنهم حزبيون يريدون التوصل إلى الحكم ولا يهتمون بالدعوة إلى تصحيح العقيدة ولا يفرقون في أتباعهم بين السني والبدعي .

وما جاء في الكلام الشفهي المسجل عني فهو سبق لسان لا يغير من رأيي فيهم شيئا".

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan wrote just yesterday (1433/5/26):

"All praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of all that exists. May Allaah raise the rank of our Prophet Muhammad, and grant him peace, and his family and comanions as well.

My stance on al-Ikhwaan al-Muslimoon (the sect called "the Muslim Brotherhood") is that they are hizbiyoon who (only) seek positions of authority, and they do not give importance to inviting (the people) to correct the (wrong) beliefs, nor do they make any distinctions regarding who follows them - people of Sunnah or people of bid'ah.

Some recorded words of mine (contradictory to this) were a slip of the tongue which does not affect my stance on them in any way."
