Anonymous online identities
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
One of our beloved younger brothers and colleagues shared with us a tweet from Ustaadh Moosaa Richardson regarding the use of anonymous identities online. Many of us, including myself, are well acquainted with circumstances behind the guidance given by Al-Allamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah Al-Jabiri, may Allah have mercy upon him, when this matter first occurred over 20 years ago. Included in that thread on salafitalk.net were also the statements of Al-Allamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi, may Allah have mercy on him, and Al-Allamah Rabee, may Allah preserve him. Then when this matter came up again in 2014, we shared the same link from Salafitalk. Therefore, we share the same sentiment in emphasizing that discussions should be grounded in honesty, avoiding the use of tactics like anonymity. May Allah bless all of us with sincerity and truthfulness in all our endeavours Aameen.
Here is the link we shared in 2014 when this matter started again.
