Against the Blasphemy of Prohibiting Ziyarah to the Rawdhah
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam Taqi’ ad-Din Abu al-Hasan ‘Ali ibn ‘Abd al-Kafi’ as-Subki (r.a.) wrote, in Sayful Maslul ‘ala Man Sabba ar-Rasul, “I do not have the power to avenge the accursed blasphemer myself, but Allah (s.w.t.) Knows that my heart despises him; yet, it is not sufficient to merely consider it evil in the heart, rather it is incumbent upon me to strive as much as I can with my tongue and my pen. I beseech Allah (s.w.t.) to not reprimand me for the paucity of my response and that He Grants me Salvation which He Grants those who forbid from evil; verily, He is Oft-forgiving, the Pardoner.”
He was referring to Shaykh
Taqi’ ad-Din Ahmad ibn ‘Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyyah (r.a.) and his fatwa
prohibiting travel to visit the Prophet (s.a.w.),
and denying his living in the grave.
Shaykh ibn Taymiyyah (r.a.)
eventually repented from that.
