A Hadith to Contemplate: Pernicious, Diabolical and Devious Bidʿee Haqiqatjou, His Support For The Houthi – Proponents of the Aspects of Shirk of al-Jāhiliyyah- and His Evil Intentions Towards the Lands of the Two Sacred Mosques

Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“The most hated people to Allah are three: a person who deviates from right conduct sanctuaries of Makkah and Medeenah; a person who seeks that the traditions of the pre-lslamic period of ignorance should remain in Islam and a person who seeks to shed somebody’s blood without any right”.

Al-Allamah Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

These three actions are major sins. The first major sin is to stray from good behavior within the sacred sanctuaries of Makkah and Madeenah. This deviation means to abandon the path of truth and embrace falsehood, and promoting falsehood to suppress the truth. Allah, The Mighty and Majestic, has censured those who engage in such misconduct within the sanctuaries of Makkah and Madeenah, saying:

وَمَن يُرِدۡ فِيهِ بِإِلۡحَادِۭ بِظُلۡمٍ۬ نُّذِقۡهُ مِنۡ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ۬

And whoever intends evil actions therein or to do wrong, We shall make him taste a painful torment]. [Al-Hajj. 25]

Allah has promised them a severe punishment for their evil intentions therein, so what about committing such deeds?! It would indeed be a more severe sin, a more terrifying state, and a harsher punishment. This highlights the sanctity of Makkah and Madeenah, chosen by Allah as sacred lands where virtuous acts of worship, like Hajj, are performed – a pillar of Islam. The virtues of these places are countless, with increased rewards for good deeds done there, and surpassing all other lands on earth in virtue.

The second major sin is committed by the individual who wants the practices of the pre-Islamic era of ignorance to remain within Islam, as if he prioritises the evil customs that were followed during that era over Islamic practices, Iman and Ihsaan, their virtue and the virtue of the Prophet’s Sunnah. This act constitutes a major sin, as it involves favouring Bidah over the authentic Sunnah that leads to the right path.

The third major sin is shedding the blood of a Muslim without any right, especially when it is done out of oppression and animosity. Shedding the blood of a Muslim is a great crime as the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

“The extinction of the entire world is less significant than killing a Muslim (without right)”.

He stated regarding the rights of the Kabah:

“Great you are and great is your sanctity, but the sanctity of a believer is greater than yours in the Sight of Allah”.

Therefore, it is forbidden to transgress against Muslims, both male and female, in the sanctuaries of Makkah and Madeenah, as well as in any other place, due to the severe consequences and punishment that follow.
