 Shaikh Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) On Abu Usaamah

Sheikh Ahmad An-Najmi was asked on the 9th of January, 2003 the following question concerning Abu Usaamah Adh-Dhahabi:

“O Shaykh Ahmad we have with us in America a man called abu usaamah who is considered to be from the Du’aat, he aids and supports abu hasan and he calls some noble salafi brothers gulaat (extremists), muqallidah (blind followers),and muhqiboon (the people whose religion is the religion of the one they blindly follow), so what is the legislated position from this man and how should we deal with him?”

 Answer:

“Your position on him is the same as your position on the people of innovation. Turn away from him and abandon him.” [Source: http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=6&Topic=1136]
