Two people were very disrespectful on this thread. When they rightly got put in their place, they started with the abusing. They were stubborn on their wrong opinion, they weren't prepared to listen what the other side was saying. In the process, they suggested that all the scholars of Islam made a mistake. Even the scholars they quoted from, like al-`Uthaymeen, and Albani, ended up on the wrong side of the fence when it was shown to them that they obliged Taqleed on the layman.
Only them two are to blame for what transpired. Why some people are blaming others for this fiasco I have no idea. Any perceived harshness that was meted out to them was the least they deserved. Harshness in its place is wisdom.
What I would say is that this Deen is very simple. A layman asks a trustworthy scholar - how more simple could it get!? Those who complicate it - by forcibly obliging Muslims to stick to a Madhhab on one extreme, or force them to investigate evidences that is beyond their comprehension on another extreme - are cheating the Muslims. They are especially cheating new Muslims. Imagine what a new Muslim would feel like if all this nonsense appeared.
A few questions remain:
- S. Albani and his quote on Taqleed in the Tayammum issue
- Taqleed in `Aqeedah and scholarly mistakes
- Why did this Zawah brother miss the answers to his questions
Anything else left before we proceed?
