The Salafi Position Towards What is Occurring in Egypt!
The trials and turmoils that are currently
affecting Egypt are not hidden from you. What is your advice to the general
masses of Muslims who reside in Egypt and the students of knowledge in these
lands?
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah)
:
This is Fitnah, and the Muslim should
stay far away from trials and tribulations and distance themselves from (Fitan). They should not speak except about
that which involves good for everyone; (they should) speak about that which is
good for everyone, which will extinguish the Fitnah and remove this evil from
the Muslims.
However, if they are unable to do
this; if they are unable to bring about reconciliation between the fighting
factions, then they should refrain from this (turmoil) and stay far away from
the Fitnah.
There remains for them supplication,
as the door of supplication is open. He can supplicate for the Muslims in all
places, the people of Egypt and other than them, that Allah provides for them a
way out and relief.
