In the Name of Allaah, Ar-Rahmaan, Ar-Raheem...
[Q]: Our Shaykh, may Allaah bless you, some individuals have appeared of late here in America who malign our brother Abu Muhammad (may Allaah preserve him). We wanted to know your position concerning Abu Muhammad, may Allaah bless you. And should the Salafi youth pay any attention to this criticism and defamation that is being directed towards Abu Muhammad?
[A]: What I say and what I know about Abu Muhammad is that he is amongst the most virtuous of the people. He is from the people who possess honour and nobility. He is a person of knowledge and wisdom in the {affairs} of the Da'wah. This is what I say concerning him.
As for his opponents, then I believe that they only feign to be upon Salafiyyah; and that they have sick hearts.
I think, and Allaah knows best, that they have a connection with Abul Hasan and his likes. That is why they attack the people of the Sunnah.
It is upon them to repent to Allaah and apologize to Abu Muhammad, and to distance themselves from Abul Hasan and his followers who have been planted [amongst you].
This is what I say concerning this.
May Allaah bless you.
