wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

why was he banned from coming to Europe?

No idea. May be same reasons as the ban of Dr. Zakir Naik. Simply because of preaching Islam and many people entering the beautiful Religion because of them. Sheikh Arifi is such a famous scholar who has 2.2 million followers on Twitter alone.

Allah knows best it is a bit weird for him to be banned.

I don't personally listen to this speaker or agree with everything he says. May Allah aid all the believers.

Being a famous scholar with lots of followers does not necessarily mean being upon the Quran and Sunnah.

They claim on Arab News: "He also once stated that a daughter should not sit alone with her father because she might tempt him into lusting after her."

Anyone know anything about that?

SubhanAllah that sounds weird! I couldn't imagine the Sheikh saying such a thing wallahu A'lam.

I didn't try to say everyone with a large Audience lives according to Quran and Sunnah. May Allah forgive me.

However, Sheikh Arifi is one of my favorite Sheikhs in the Muslim world. Calling it "Arab News" does not make it all authentic either. Can any brother or sister provide a proof for that claimed saying of Sheikh?

Meanwhile, as Ibn Taymiyya (Rahimahullah) said, if we try to find mistakes of others, there will not be a "good" person in this whole Ummah.

Assalaamu `alaika warahmatullaah, akhy.

This is probably what they were referring to, yeah?


As far as I understood, he did say that. He also said for her to not wear revealing clothes (short or tight) in front of him.

The video does't start from the beginning, but apparently a questioner asked him of a daughter who's sexually harassed by her father and this was the advice he gave.

And Allaah `azza wa jall knows best.

Jazakillahu khayran ukhti,

Yes it is clear. Depends on the context of the whole answer and also the question he was answering! So in context it makes sense, if the question was about someone who had a bad father.

And someone said he read a poem as if reciting Quran, then he gave it name of a fake surah as a joke?

Wa Iyaak!

Yes, subhaanaalah, that would be, "Surat At-tuffaah". Do you want the video?

It's more of a "refutation" than a video though. He reads a short peom in a qur'aanic manner and then names it suurat at-Tuffaah jokingly, while the audience laughs along with him.

Jazakillahu khayran, I just saw it now on Youtube. That makes me sad and scared, astaghfirullah. Don't think we need that here in TTI.

I agree wholeheartedly. This situation remind of this du`aa, "Allahumma arini al-haqqa haqqan warzuqni ittibaa'h wa arini al-batil batilan warzuqni ijtinabah"
"O Allah show me the truth as truth and give me the ability to follow it, and show me falsehood for what it is and give me the ability to abstain from it"

May Allaah `azza wa jall guide us all.

From what I could dig up, he was banned from Switzerland, but not all EU countries as he arrived in the UK recently. To be more exact, he was banned from the Schengen Area - not all countries in the Schengen area are EU, and not all EU countries are in Schengen.

Shi'a groups in the UK protested his being allowed entry due to his outspoken comments denouncing Shi'a, but UK allowed him anyway. I did not find the reason for his denial of Schengen Visa, but a Swiss newspaper commented on his initial ban last year - "The preacher, whose planned visit to the conference had raised objections from critics who accused him of preaching violence and hatred. He has been accused of anti-Semitism, insulting homosexuals and offering advice on wife-beating, among a range of condemnations." - Source: thelocal.ch

I don't think that being accused of things should be enough, but the newspaper goes on to say "The federal migration office did not give reasons for banning the preacher."
