Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee Defense of Shaikh Ubaid NEW

[Spubs.Com]

A Quick Translation:

"Questioner: Our Shaikh, another question [for you].

Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee: Yes.

Questioner: Is it permissible to spread the likes of this speech - we hope for a brief answer O Shaikh - so is it permissible to spread the likes of this speech: "Shaikh Ubaid is the Sabt of the new hizbiyyah - meaning the truth has been made clear to him regarding the fitnah of Abdur-Rahmaan al-'Adanee. That verdicts are not to accepted from him (i.e. Shaikh Ubaid), and that Shaikh Ubaid permits free-mixing, democratic elections, and [viewing] television - with the utilisation of the 'evidence' that that this speech [against Shaikh Ubaid] has eminated from a scholar, Shaikh Yahyah, hafidhahullaah - and that this is on an internet website, and this has become widespread and well-circulated, and there has not come from the scholars a refutation [of these allegations]?

Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee: We do not know of this speech - [so] this speech [refuting Shaikh Ubaid] is false! Shaikh Ubaid is from the best of the Scholars and from the Shaikhs of the Sunnah, from the best of the Shaikhs of the Sunnah - and we know nothing about him except that he is upon the Sunnah. And everyone of us can err and be correct [from time to time]. However this speech is not permitted regarding Shaikh Ubaid - rather is sheer falsehood, falsehood - this speech is falsehood! And this is the case even if Yahyah has spoken with it, it is [still] falsehood. What Shaikh Yahyah has said, we are not in agreement with it - it is false speech!

Yahyah is our brother but the truth is more beloved to us than him! So this speech [of his] is falsehood. We do not know anything of Shaikh Ubaid except that he is a Scholar (an 'Aalim) from the 'Ulamaa of the Sunnah, and a caller to the Sunnah. One who warns against hizbiyyah, one who flees from it and one who stands and faces its people [in battle]. So we seek refuge in Allaah from falsehood. However a person may say something in anger that which he may not say whilst being pleased, so the speech of a person is not accepted unless it is in agreement with the evidence.

Questioner: May Allaah bless you.

Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee: This speech [against Shaikh 'Ubaid], we do not know of it, this speech is false. And that which we know from Shaikh 'Ubaid is that he is from the distinguished of people of the Sunnah and from the Scholars of the Sunnah, and from the callers to the Sunnah, one who stands up for the Sunnah, in defense of it - and one who wages war upon innovations and its people and one who warns against innovations. He is from the well-known Scholars and the well-known Shaikhs in this arena.

Questioner: May Allaah bless you O Shaikh!

Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee: May Allaah bless you.
