Akhee, while I strongly support what Imam al-Albani said here, I'd advise you to reconsider posting this video from this specific 'publication' or whatever. Because if you look at their website, you'd see them promoting the works of people like Awlaki who has no connection to Salafiyyah and its Scholars whatsoever. Rather he's openly said in his blog about making takfeer and khurooj against the Muslim rulers in Muslim lands and also praised acts of terrorism in USA. There are knowledge-based refutations on this individual Awlaki if you wish to know more.

I say this because if you do not know Arabic, then if you resort to wrong people (like Sufis and Takfiris) for their translations, then you're likely to fall into severe errors. You'd see Sufis wrongly translating many statements of the Imams of the past, and you'd see Takfiris also doing this intellectual dishonesty in their translation of fatwa.

One such takfiri user has been caught red-handed of such deception and you can read more about it here.

You could say what's the difference between me and those brothers from UK who suggested you probably similar things elsewhere?
Answer is I do not say Imam al-Albani is wrong here as I fully support him in this, but one should be very careful with the agenda of people translating such works. You can try asking this particular youtube user (Islamic Emirate) about Osama bin Laden and the ruler in Saudi, in Jordan, in Kuwait and elsewhere and see what their responses are. That way, you'd know for yourself that they are takfiris and their agenda is not to promote Imam al-Albani but to promote their takfeer and terrorists like OBL. You can ask them about Shaykh Alee al-Halabi and you'd see them accuse him as a Murji.

You could try downloading a .mp3 version of this audio clip and upload it yourself without having to promote this "IslamicEmirate".

I see you've another counter terrorism blog elsewhere which is why I assume you've different views to those who make takfeer on Muslim rulers and khurooj and irhaab. This deen is sincere advice akhi and that is what I hope I have done here.

I see. Didn't know that.

And perhaps i should have put a disclaimer stating that in no means am i agreeable with the "publication". I'm just sharing the video.
