Mr. Haque, thanks for your posting. Do you mind telling me what makes you think that I am not a "believer"? I am assuming that by "believer", you are referring to being a Muslim. I could be wrong and you probably meant something else.
You are correct in saying that this is just an opinion. But in a land of anarchy where the only opinions that matter are the opinions of the monarchy and the religious council, any "opinion" is a dictation to many people in the world, especially to those who look to Saudi Arabia for guidance and direction.
Frankly, I think the whole posting is unnecessary. We are not Saudis and what the Saudi scholars say has no relevance to our problems.

Being a Muslim I have taken what the so called Saudi scholar said as an opinion, I wouldn't take it as fatwa (Islamic ruling) though as mentioned he is from the fiqh academy. Even if he had claimed it as fatwa, yet it wouldn't bother me much. When it is a human judgment it should have its limitation and you weigh his opinion according to your own understanding on the matter. The Holy Quran prescribe Freedom of Speech, he has said what he think he should say, take it or leave it. Perhaps your disparagement here is unnecessary. Since you are not a believer it shouldn't have bothered you in the first place.
It bothered you or the scorn derived from, very likely, something else. Wish you only good. Haque From: Cyrus <thoughtocrat@ yahoo.com> |
