Answer to an Enemy of Islam

Rasûlullah (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam) and explained by the
a’immat al-madhâhib. Those scholars who are not mujtahids can
manage their application to daily events. Mujaddids who will come
in every century will do this job, but, because it is no longer
necessary, they will not deduce new rules through ijtihâd. Every
harâm, halâl or document has been explained.
Now, anybody who wants to attain to endless happiness should
learn the faith of Ahl as-Sunna briefly and believe accordingly, and
then, choosing the one which is possible and easy for him to learn
of the four madhhabs, he should learn one by one about his daily
doings and ’ibâdât in a book of that madhhab and practise them
accordingly. In every country, genuine books of ’ilm al-hâl, each
writing the teachings of one madhhab, are easily available. This
opportunity is Allâhu ta’âlâ’s great blessing over the Ummat al-
Muhammad (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa sallam). Infinite thanks be to
Allâhu ta’âlâ for this great blessing of His! We ought to be on the
alert lest we should be deceived by the false words and writings of
heretics, of the lâ-madhhabî, of religion reformers and of those
ignorant people who speak and write in order to earn money!
As-salâmu ’alâ man ittaba ’Al-hudâ.
