Shaykh Yahyaa al-Hajooree on Al-Qaradaawee


The student of Shaykh Muqbil al-Waadi'ee (rahimahullaah), Shaykh Yahyaa bin 'Alee al-Hajooree (hafizahullaah) said of Dr Yoosuf al-Qaradaawee:

"When we finished, the lecture that took place after mine was to be given by Al-Qaradaawee. Behold all of these shaven faces and women wearing pants, exposing themselves came in, from among the Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen and the Suroorees. They came to hear the lecture of Al-Qaradaawee in the auditorium. They came and filled the auditorium, which had the vastness of our masjid here.

All praise be to Allaah, as soon as we finished giving our lecture, we departed. We did not sit to witness the false speech, but he stayed there giving his lecture. And I saw him while he was walking - he was wearing a garment (thawb) that was below his ankles and he had a trimmed beard and an evil face.

And he was giving them false and evil fataawaa (verdicts). An example of this is when a group of questions came to him. One of them complained about his fatwaa in which he said: "Our Christian brothers - we must work with them and love them." And he mentioned proof for this using Allaah's saying:

لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ

"There is no compulsion in the Religion (Islaam)" [Surah al-Baqarah: 256] and His saying:

لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ

"For you is your Religion and for me is mine" [Surah al-Kaafiroon: 6] and so on. And he was calling to the unifications of the religions in England.
