In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

Allah [The Exalted] says:

قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَٰنًا وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Say (O Muhammad): “(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), oppression without right, joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge.” [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 33]

Imaam Ibn Al-Qayyim [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: As for speaking about Allah without knowledge, it is considered the most forbidden act and the greatest sin. This is why it is ranked fourth among the forbidden things that have been universally agreed upon by all laws and the teachings of the Prophets. It is not permissible under any circumstances and is always considered forbidden. Unlike dead animals, blood, and swine, which may be permissible in certain situations, speaking about Allah without knowledge is prohibited at all times. Allah – The Exalted- says regarding those things that are forbidden in and of themselves:

[قُلْ إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ رَبِّىَ ٱلْفَوَٰحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ – Say (O Muhammad): “(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al-Fawahish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly”. Then He moved from it to what is greater than it, saying [وَٱلْإِثْمَ وَٱلْبَغْىَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ -sins (of all kinds), oppression without right]. Then He mentions what is greater than it, saying: [وَأَن تُشْرِكُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِۦ سُلْطَٰنًا – joining partners (in worship) with Allah for which He has given no authority]. Then He mentions what is greater, saying: [وَأَن تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ -and saying things about Allah of which you have no knowledge], which is the greatest of what is forbidden in the sight of Allah and the most sinful because it includes lying about Allah and attributing to Him what does not befit Him, altering the religion He has ordained, denying what He affirms and affirming what He negates, doing what He has invalidated and invalidating what He established, showing enmity to those who follow Him and having loyalty to those who oppose Him, loving what He hates and hating what He loves, and describing Him with what does not befit Him regarding His Attributes, Statements and Actions. There is nothing more forbidden in the Sight of Allah than this, nor more sinful. It is the root of polytheism and disbelief, and the foundation of innovation and misguidance in religious matters. Every innovation in religious matters stems from speaking about Allah without knowledge and this is why the pious predecessors and Imams strongly condemned it, warning against its dangers more than they did against immorality, injustice, and aggression because the harm caused by innovation in religious matters, its threat to the religion, and its opposition are more serious. [1]

Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “The people of hadith were keen on truthfulness, to the point that many statements, which in themselves are credible and truth that agreed with the Qur’an and the Sunnah that were attributed to the Prophet, they declared them weak or said, “It is a lie against the Prophet” because he did not say it, or it was not proven to be his statement based on authentic chains of transmission, even though its meaning is true. However, the basis of the statements of the proponents of innovation in religious matters is lying, either intentionally or by way of innovation in religious matters, and for this reason Allah associates lying with polytheism in more than one place in His book, such as His saying:

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ ٱلْعِجْلَ سَيَنَالُهُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَذِلَّةٌ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ

Certainly, those who took the calf (for worship), wrath from their Lord, and humiliation will come upon them in the life of this world. Thus do We recompense those who invent lies. [Surah Al-A’raaf. Ayah 152] [2]

Shaikh Al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “The statements made by the Prophets [peace be upon them] are nothing but the pure truth. On the other hand, the reports provided by those who oppose their teachings, such as magicians, [soothsayers], polytheists, people of the Scripture, the sinful individuals, and those who introduce innovations in religious matters among the Muslims, will undoubtedly contain lies. This is because anyone who goes against the teachings of the Prophets will inevitably resort to lying and committing injustice, whether it is done intentionally or out of ignorance”. [3]

Muhammad Hijaab’s situation is not hidden from any person who is acquainted with the path of the pious predecessors. Read: https://www.aqidah.com/creed/articles/fespl-muhammad-hijab-the-falasifah-mutafalsifah-and-jahmiyyah.cfm

So, let it be known to Muhammad Hijaab and all those who speak ill of the erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan or any other upright scholar, that his wrongful actions can be summed up in the following poem:

يُخاطِبُني السَفيهُ بِكُلِّ قُبحٍ
فَأَكرَهُ أَن أَكونَ لَهُ مُجيبا
يَزيدُ سَفاهَةً فَأَزيدُ حِلماً
كَعودٍ زادَهُ الإِحراقُ طيبا

The fool addresses me with every repugnant (expression etc), but I hate to be a respondent, so he increases in foolishness and I increase in forbearance, just as Oud increases in good smell when burnt.

To be continued InShaaAllah.
