Fatwa #28617 May 2001United Kingdom
Dear Mufti Saheb, What is the status of belief of the the Scholars on Imam Ibn Taymiyyah
Answer
Shaykh Taqi-u-ddin Ahmad ibn Taymiyah was a prominent Aalim (scholar) of
Deen. Shaykh Taqi-u-ddin had his independent views on many matters based on
his vast knowledge and research. It is incorrect for non-scholars and
non-academics to pass a judgment especially on such learned people. They
should fear Allah and abstain from engaging themselves in such discussions.
Differences of opinion is a salient feature among the Ulama-e-Haqq (true
scholars).
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
Mufti Ebrahim Desai
