Swali: Baadhi ya vijana wanamwita Shaykh Sayyid Qutb mzushi (mtu aliyepotoka katika imani) na wanakataza kusoma vitabu vyake, na wanasema kauli kama hiyo kuhusu Imam Hasan al-Banna. Pia wanawaita baadhi ya wanazuoni Khawarij. Hoja yao ni kwamba wanafanya hivyo ili "kuwaonyesha watu makosa ya watu hao," ilhali vijana hawa mpaka sasa ni wanafunzi wa elimu tu. Ninatarajia jibu ili shaka iondoke kwetu na kwa wengine, na jambo hili lisienee.

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.

Sifa zote ni za Allah peke yake. Kuendelea: Ni haramu (kosa) kuwaita Waislamu wazushi au waovu bila haki, kama inavyothibitishwa na kauli ya Mtume ﷺ: "Mtu yeyote atakayemwambia ndugu yake 'Ewe adui wa Allah,' na yule si hivyo, basi (laana hiyo) itamrudia yeye." Na katika hadithi nyingine: "Mtu yeyote atakayemwita Muislamu kafiri, (uzushi huo) utawarudia mmoja wao." Na katika hadithi nyingine: "Mtu mmoja alipita karibu na mwingine wakati alipokuwa akifanya dhambi, akamwambia, 'Kwa Allah, Allah hatakusamehe.' Basi (Allah) akasema: 'Ni nani huyo anayeweza kutoa hukumu kwa niaba yangu kwamba sitamsamehe fulani? Mimi nimemsamehe, na nimebatilisha matendo yako.'" Kwa hayo nasema, Sayyid Qutb na Imamu Hasan al-Banna ni miongoni mwa wanazuoni wa Waislamu na miongoni mwa watu wa Da'wa. Allah ameleta manufaa kupitia wao, na kupitia wao amewaongoza watu wengi. Wote wawili wana juhudi (kwa ajili ya Uislamu) ambazo haziwezi kukanushwa. Kwa sababu hiyo, Shaykh Abdul-Aziz ibn Baz alimwombea Sayyid Qutb alipotolewa amri ya kuuawa kwake. [Ibn Baz] aliomba kwa upole, lakini Rais Gamal [Abdel Nasser] hakukubali maombi yake, Allah amlipe [yaani Abdel Nasser] anachostahili. Wanaume wote wawili [yaani Imamu Hasan al-Banna na Sayyid Qutb] walipouawa, kila mmoja alitajwa kuwa Shahidi (Mashahidi), kwa kuwa kila mmoja aliuawa bila haki. Hili linashuhudiwa na walio karibu nao pamoja na umma kwa ujumla, kwa kuwa lilienea sana katika magazeti na vitabu bila yeyote kupinga.
