Part 7

Even though we do not oppose his use of this proof, as it is indeed clear, we notify the readers that this is a false claim and a lie against Ibn Taymeeyah -Rahimullaah. Indeed his books make clear and abundant mention of its legality and he even expounded on how to visit the grave. S a l a f i P u b l i c a t i o n s . c o m Page 18 What Ibn Taymeeyah rejected was intending a journey to visit the grave as is the meaning of the hadith: 'Do not undertake a journey except to three Masajid…' which I have explained in detail with the sayings of Ibn Taymeeyah himself in my refutation of al-Booti entitled: 'In defense of the Prophetic hadith.' So what does the doctor intend by persisting with this slander which is even in the latest print of his book? Intelligent readers know the answer.' No. 45 - 'Whoever performs the Hajj of the House (Ka'bah) and does not visit me has indeed treated me badly.' FabricatedMawdoo Silsilah-Daeefah Shaykh Albaani said: 'Benefit: From what indicates its being fabricated is that ill-treatment of the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallamis from the major sins, if not disbelief. So if the one who does not visit the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallamhas committed a great sin, then this necessitates that this visit is obligatory, like Hajj, which no Muslim would say. This is because even though visiting the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallamis from the actions that bring one closer to Allaah, it does not exceed the status of being only recommended by the scholars.
