 WAS IT THE BELIEF OF THE SALAF

TO REJOICE AT THE DEATH

OF THE INNOVATOR

By: Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzan

Question:

O noble shaykh may Allaah protect you. The questioner ask: was it the belief of the salaf to rejoice at the death of the innovator?

Answer:

The salaf would ask for the guidance of the innovators and people of misguidance. They would supplicate for their guidance. As for rejoicing over theirdeath, then I don't know anything regarding that, but they would supplicate for theirguidance and they would refute their doubts.

Translator: Abu Anas Atif Hasan

السلف كانوا يسألون الهداية للمبتدعة

السؤال: هل كان من معتقد السلف أنهم كانوا يفرحون بموت المبتدعة؟

الجواب: السلف كانوا يسألون الهداية للمبتدعة وأهل الضلال، يدعون لهم بالهداية وأما أنهم يفرحون بموتهم فلا أعلم شيء من ذلك، لكن يدعون لهم بالهداية ويردون على شبهاتهم. نعم.
