Question: Some youth call Shaykh Sayyid Qutb a heretic and prohibit the reading of his books, and they say a similar statement regarding Imam Hasan al-Banna, as they also say regarding some of the scholars that they are Khawarij. Their argument is that [they do this] in order to 'expose the errors [of these men] to the people,' even though [these youth] are until now [only] students [of knowledge]. I hope for a response so that doubt may be removed from us and others, [and] so that this [phenomenon] will not spread.

Duk godiya ta tabbata ga Allah shi kaɗai. Ga abin da ke biye: Haramun ne a kira musulmi da kafiri ko mugu ba tare da hujja ba, kamar yadda maganar Annabi ﷺ ta nuna: "Duk wanda ya ce wa ɗan'uwansa, 'Ya maƙiyin Allah,' alhali ba haka yake ba, to zai koma gare shi." Haka nan a wani hadisi: "Duk wanda ya kira musulmi da kafiri, to zai koma ga ɗayansu." Kuma a wani hadisin: "Wani mutum ya wuce wani alhali yana aikata zunubi, sai ya ce masa, 'Na rantse da Allah, Allah ba zai gafarta maka ba.' Sai [Allah] ya ce: 'Wane ne zai yi hukunci a madadina cewa ba zan gafarta wa wane ba? Na gafarta masa, kuma na ɓata ayyukanka.'" Da wannan nake cewa, Sayyid Qutb da Imam Hasan al-Banna suna cikin malaman musulmi da cikin mutanen da'awa. Allah ya amfanar da musulmi ta hannunsu, kuma ta hannunsu ya shiryar da mutane da yawa. Dukansu suna da ƙoƙari (ga Musulunci) wanda ba za a musanta shi ba. Saboda haka ne Shaikh Abdul-Aziz bn Baz ya yi roƙo a madadin Sayyid Qutb lokacin da aka bayar da umarnin kashe shi.

Response: All praise belongs to Allah alone. To proceed: It is impermissible to [unjustly] call the Muslims heretics or wicked as is evidenced by the statement of the Prophet T “Whoever says to his brother 'O enemy of Allah,' and he is not such but that it returns back to him.” While in [another] hadith “Whoever calls a Muslim an infidel it returns back to one of them.' While in another hadith: "A man passed by another while he was doing a sin and he said to him, 'By Allah, Allah will not forgive you.' So [Allah] said: 'Who is he who can pass judgment on my behalf that I will not forgive so and so? I have forgiven him and have nullified your deeds.’ With this I say, Sayyid Qutb and Imam Hasan al-Banna are among the scholars of the Muslims and among the people of Da'wa. Allah has brought benefit by them and through them He has guided many people. They both have efforts [for Islam] which should not be denied. For this reason Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ibn Baz interceded on behalf of Sayyid Qutb when the order for his execution was given. [Ibn Baz] was gentle in his intercession, but President Gamal [Abdel Nasser] did not accept [Ibn Baz's] intercession, may Allah send upon him [i.e. Abdel Nasser] what he deserves. When both men [i.e Imam Hasan al-Banna & Sayyid Qutb] were killed, each was referred to as a Shaheed (Martyr), as each was killed unjustly. This is borne witness to by those close [to them] as well as by the general public - as it was widely spread in the papers and books without anyone ever objecting.

Moreover, the scholars have received their books [with acceptance]. No one has attacked them for more than the [last] twenty years. If some [heresy proceeded] from them, then [these mistakes] are similar to an-Nawawi, as-Suyuti, Ibn al-Jawzi, Ibn 'Atiyah, al-Khatabi, al-Qastalani and the likes of many of them. I have read what... Rabee al-Madkhali has written in his refutation of Sayyid Qutb and I found that he has placed statements where they do not exist. For this reason Shaykh Bakr Abu Zaid, may Allah preserve him, refuted him. Likewise, [al-Madkhali's] unjust attacks of Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahman ['Abdul-Khaaliq] and his [twisting 'Abdur-Rahman 'Abdul-Khaaliq's words] in order to find errors which would make ['Abdur-Rahman 'Abdul-Khaaliq appear] misguided, even though [al-Madkhali] befriended him for a lengthy period of time and he never found any such errors [in the past].

And the eye of pleasure sees every fault insignificant, But the eye of hatred always finds fault.
