REVIEW

1. What is the fifth nullifier and invalidator of Islaam?

2. What is the ruling of the one who mocks or ridicules Allaah or
His Messenger (‫?)ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬
3. What is the ruling of the one disbelieves in a Messenger from the Messengers of Allaah, and
what is the proof for this ruling?

The shaykh began with the Khutbatul Haajah.

Shaykh Ahmed al-Wasaabee (hafidhahullaah ta'laa) continued on with the dars from Al-Qawl-ul-
Mufeed from where he left off, concerning the nullifiers and invalidators of Islaam. After completing
the first six nullifiers of Islaam, we have gone onto the seventh.

THE SEVENTH INVALIDATOR: MAGIC

TRANSLATION OF THE TEXT IN AL-QAWL-UL-MUFEED FEE ADILLATIT TAWHEED:
Magic, and from that is as-sarf (aversion) and al-‘atf (inclination). So as for as-sarf, then it is a magical
action by which it is intended to avert a man from that which he desires, such as changing a man’s
love for his wife into hatred for her. As for al-‘atf, then it is a magical action also by which it is
intended to make a man love that which he does not usually desire, such as making him love the
paths of Shaitân. Allaah the Exalted says,

“but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, ‘We are only for trial, so
disbelieve not’ (by learning this magic from us).” (Al-Baqarah 2:102)

From ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood (radiyAllaahu ‘anhu) who said. “The Messenger of Allaah (‫ )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬said,
‘Verily the incantations, amulets and charms are Shirk.’” (Aboo Daawood no. 3883)

EXPLANATION OF THE TEXT BY SHAYKH AL-WASAABEE:

Shaykh Ahmed (hafidhahullaah ta'laa) then went on and stated that indeed sorcery is from the works
of those who Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has blinded, both their understanding and their sight. It is
also from the works of those who earn their living at the price of hurting the creation and harming
them.

The Shaykh then went on to one of the first types of sorcery that was mentioned in the text, which is
aversion/diverting. In this type of sorcery it is intended by the sorcerer that he diverts a person from
what he desires or wants. For example, the one who diverts a man from his love for his wife towards
hatred. Shaykh Ahmed mentioned that the sorcery can not take effect, except by the will of Allaah,
and he mentioned the statement of Allaah,

‫ﺣ ٍﺪ ِﺇﻻﱠ ِﺑِﺈ ﹾﺫ ِﻥ ﺍﻟﹼﻠ ِﻪ‬ ‫ﻦ ﹶﺃ‬ ‫ﻦ ِﺑ ِﻪ ِﻣ‬ ‫ﻳ‬‫ﺂﺭ‬‫ﻢ ِﺑﻀ‬‫ﺎ ﻫ‬‫ﻭﻣ‬

“but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allâh's Leave.” (Al-Baqarah 2:102)

Then the Shaykh mentioned to us the second type of sorcery which is making a man love what he
does not like and desire what he did not desire. For example, a sorcerer can, by the will of Allaah,
make a man love a woman that he did not love before. This occurs by people going to sorcerers and
asking them to perform certain sorceries, so that someone loves a certain woman, for whatever
reason they may have. This type of sorcery is achieved by Satanic means, and by using the Shayâtin.
It is mentioned in the same verse (Al-Baqarah 2:102) that the sorcerers learned the magic from the
angels,

“teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Hârût and Mârût”
(Al-Baqarah 2:102)

In addition the Shaykh stated that anyone who learns sorcery has become a disbeliever.

Shaykh Ahmed then read to us the explanation of this nullifier from “The Explanation of the Nullifiers of
Islaam” by Shaykh Abdul 'Azeez Ibn Marzook. In this book, Shaykh Abdul Azeez Ibn Marzook
mentions that sorcery has a reality in the fluency of the people of knowledge and that this is the
belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah.

The Shaykh also mentioned to us the statement of Ibn Hijrah, Allaah’s mercy be upon him; in his
book he states that the Manhaj (methodology) of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'ah is that sorcery has a reality
and he mentioned this and narrated this and transmitted this from the Salaf, except Abu Haneefah.
Abu Haneefah stated that sorcery has no reality and that it is mere imagination and hallucination. This
is also the way of the Mu'tazilah (a deviant sect from amongst the deviant sects), who say that sorcery
has no reality and is just a matter of hallucination and imagination. They use as a proof for this the
statement of Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa),

[Mûsa (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic,
appeared to him as though they moved fast. (Ta-Ha 20:66)

The Mu’tazilah and Abu Haneefah use this as a proof that sorcery is mere imagination and
hallucination. The truth in this matter is that sorcery has a reality and that it is not mere imagination,
and this has been transmitted to us from the companions, and from the tabi’een and from the imaams
of Islaam.

As-Sihr (sorcery) is incorporated and achieved by the means of the Shayâtin. Mentioned in Sooratul
Baqarah, Allah the exalted says,

They followed what the Shayâtin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaimân (Solomon).
Sulaimân did not disbelieve, but the Shayâtin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such things that
came down at Babylon to the two angels, Hârût and Mârût, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone
(such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)."
And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they
could not thus harm anyone except by Allâh's Leave. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)

It is also mentioned in the explanation that sorcery is divided into two sections. The first is sorcery
that is achieved by the means of the Shayâtin. The person that practices this is the one who worships
the Shayâtin and seeks closeness by worshipping them and praying to them, certain types of worship
so that they help them in sorcery.

The second type of sorcery is the sorcery that is used to cause hallucination or imagination from true
reality. The Scholars have disagreed among themselves concerning the ruling as to whether the one
who practices this type of sorcery is to be killed or not, and this goes back to the disagreement of
whether this person is a disbeliever or not.

If it is known that sorcery contains Shirk or worshipping the Shayâtin, then he is to be killed as an
apostate from the deen of Islaam. But, if it is known that the sorcery that he practices is not from the
first category of Shirk but from the second category, then it he is to be killed so as not to harm the
people and from spreading evil and mischief in the land.

3
This goes back to whether it is in the Muslims’ benefit to have his life to be saved, or not to be saved.
It is mentioned in “The Explanation of the Nullifiers of Islaam” that in regards to the issue of the
sorcerer being killed, there is no proof of the Prophet (‫ )ﺻـﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬ordering the sorcerer to be
killed, but it comes from the dealings of the Companions.

It is narrated that they killed a sorcerer, when Asmaa heard that a slave girl was practicing sorcery and
she admitted to it, Asmaa had her killed. Also it is mentioned that Umar Ibn al-Khattaab (radi
Allaahu anhu) that he wrote to al the leaders in different cities, during his time as Khalifah, that every
woman and man sorcerer should be killed.

EXPLANATION OF THE TEXT BY SHAYKH AL-WASAABEE:

Shaykh Ahmed mentioned that there are numerous proof concerning this nullifier and the other
nullifiers, and if all the proofs were to be gathered it would lead to numerous books. What is meant
by the mention of these proofs is to make it clear which people fall into these nullifiers.

The Shaykh then mentioned the statement of Imaam Tabari ibn Jarir, who is the Imaam of the
Muffassireen (explainers of the Qur'ân) concerning the tafseer of the verses mentioned in the text.
Imaam Tabari says the one who is an ally to them and helps them over the believer and against the
believer then he is from the disbeliever’s deen. Verily, no one is an ally to anyone, except that he is
with them and with their deen, and he agrees with what they are upon. If he agrees with what they are
upon then he agrees with their deen and he has gone against and incurred the anger of Allaah
(subhaana wa ta'laa). His ruling is the ruling of the one who he has allied with.

The Shaykh then mentioned to us the statement of Abdul 'Azeez Ibn Marzook in his book “The
Explanation of the Nullifiers of Islaam”. He then mentioned to us and quoted to us from the
explanation of the eighth nullifier of Islaam which is to help and aid to a disbeliever against the
believer. The one who helps the disbelievers and aids them against the believer of Islaam then verily
he has (…words unclear…) of Allaah and to His promises, and he has objected to Allaah and His
messenger and the believers, and he has earned the anger of Allaah. His punishment is stated by
Allaah (subhaana wa ta’alaa),

And you see those in whose hearts there is a disease (of hypocrisy), they hurry to their friendship, saying: "We
fear lest some misfortune of a disaster may befall us." Perhaps Allâh may bring a victory or a decision
according to His Will. Then they will become regretful for what they have been keeping as a secret in
themselves. (Al-Ma'idah 5:52)

The Shaykh went on and stated the punishment for the hypocrites mentioned by Allaah,

Give to the hypocrites the tidings that there is for them a painful torment. (An-Nisa 4:138)

And Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has made the ruling of the one who takes the disbelievers as allies
like their (the disbelievers’) ruling. Allaah’s statement:

O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they
are but Auliyâ' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyâ', then surely he is one of
them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:51)

Shaykh Abdul 'Azeez mentions in his explanation that Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has cut off all
excuses for being allies with them, whether it be protecting one who he has affection for, or for fear
from them. Allaah has cut off all of these excuses for those who are allies with the disbelievers. And
Allaah states that this is because they prefer this life over the hereafter:

That is because they loved and preferred the life of this world over that of the Hereafter. And Allâh guides

Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has forbidden taking the disbelievers as allies, even if they be among very
close relatives and kinship. And the statement of Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa),

though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). (Al-Mujadilah
58:22)

And it is also mentioned in the explanation that there are numerous proofs from the Kitaab and the
Sunnah concerning this chapter, more than can be enumerated. Shaykh Abdul 'Azeez mentions in the
explanation that after the proof of Tawheed and what is the opposite of Tawheed, (shirk), there are
numerous proofs for this [the ruling on] helping the disbelievers and aiding the disbelievers against
the Muslims.

O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliyâ' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they
are but Auliyâ' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliyâ', then surely he is one of
them. Verily, Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:51)

Allaah has clarified the ruling of the one who allies against the Muslims as the same as the ruling of
the one he is allied with. This ruling necessitates that there is no inheritance to the apostates who
become allies to the disbelievers against the believers. The one who allies with them then this ruling
remains until the day of judgement.

The Shaykh also mentioned to us from the statement of Ibn Hazm, in his book which is called
Muhalla concerning the verse (5:51). The one that does this in the apparently [and openly], and not
from the works that are hidden and secret, then he is a disbeliever in summary, and no one disagrees
concerning this truth.

THE NINTH INVALIDATOR:

BELIEVING THAT SOME HAVE THE CHOICE TO LEAVE OF THE SHAREE’AH
OF MUHAMMAD (‫)ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬

TRANSLATION OF THE TEXT IN AL-QAWL-UL-MUFEED FEE ADILLATIT TAWHEED:

Whosoever believes that some of the people have been given the choice to leave off the Sharee’ah of
Muhammad (‫)ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬, just as al-Khidr was given the choice to go outside the jurisdiction of the
Sharee’ah of Moosa (‫)ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﺍﻟﺴـﻼﻡ‬, then he has disbelieved. That is because every Prophet was sent
specifically to his own people, so it is not obligatory for all the people to follow them. As for our
Prophet, Muhammad (‫)ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬, then he was sent for all peoples, so it is not lawful for anyone
to oppose him, not to leave off his Sharee’ah. Allaah the Exalted says,

said, “I was given five things that no one before me was given: [i] I was aided by causing intimidation for a months
time; [ii] the entire earth was made a masjid (place of prostration) and pure for me, so regardless of where a man from

And there occurs in a hadeeth, “By Allaah if Moosaa was living, he would have no choice but to follow me”
(Da’eef – Shaykh Muqbil & Hasan by al-Albaanee al Irwaa’ no. 1589 & mentioned in Ibn Katheer of
this verse)

EXPLANATION OF THE TEXT BY SHAYKH AL-WASAABEE:

Shaykh Ahmed (hafidhahullaah) mentioned to us that this ninth invalidator has a connection to the
third invalidator, which is not stating the Christians and the Jews as disbelievers as Allaah has
mentioned them as being disbelievers. The Prophet (‫ )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬has certain things that are specific
to him, no other Prophet were given these things; one of these is that Muhammad (‫)ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬
was sent for all the people. This is unlike the other Prophets who were sent specifically for their
people and this is mentioned directly in the text from the Hadith from Jaabir Ibn ‘Abdullaah al-
Ansaaree (radiyAllaahu 'anhu).

The Shaykh then mentioned to us that Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has completed the revelation with
Muhammad (‫ )ﺻـﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴـﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬and that there remains no deen after Muhammad except Islaam and
whoever holds onto anything other than Islaam then it will not be accepted from him. Also, his
works will be refuted and not accepted. Whoever, from the people who have had news of this deen
reach them, and verily the news of this deen of Islaam and Muhammad (‫ )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ‬has reached
all the people, and they do not believe in it they will be the people of the fire.

The Shaykh also mentioned, concerning the verse in Sooratul Ma’idah:

This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you
Islâm as your religion. (Al-Ma'idah 5:3)

That it was revealed in the farewell pilgrimage of the Prophet (‫ )ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬and that after he ( ‫ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ‬
‫ )ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ‬returned from the hajj to Medina he lived for a few days. Shaykh Ahmed mentioned that this
ayah is a great verse and that it explains the greatness of Islaam until:

Narrated Tariq bin Shihab:

A Jew said to 'Umar, "O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: 'This day I have perfected your religion for you,
completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.' (5.3) had been revealed upon
us, we would have taken that day as an 'Id (festival) day." 'Umar said, "I know definitely on what day this
Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of 'Arafat, on a Friday." (al-Bukhaaree no. 6800)

The Shaykh then mentioned to us that the Muslims to do not take their celebrations and their ‘Eid
from themselves. The Muslims have 3 ‘Eids, ‘Eid of fitr and the ‘Eid of adha, which are the two
‘Eids that come yearly and the third ‘Eid which is yawmul Jum’ah. The Muslims do not take their
‘Eids like the Jews and Christians, who take their ‘Eids at every single matter, like for example the
celebration of the birthday.

Shaykh Ahmed mentioned that anyone who takes a deen other than Islaam it will not be accepted
from them and that there is no excuse that we enter is Islaam and that we don’t pray, hear and obey.
Our return is to Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) using the explanation of the verse,

Our deen, the deen of Islaam, has abrogated all of the deens, and that there remains no other deen.

THE TENTH INVALIDATOR:
AVERSION TO THE RELIGION OF ALLAAH THE EXALTED, NOT LEARNING
IT, NOR ACTING UPON IT

TRANSLATION OF THE TEXT IN AL-QAWL-UL-MUFEED FEE ADILLATIT TAWHEED:

Displaying aversion to the Religion of Allaah the Exalted, not learning it, nor acting upon it. And the
intended meaning of aversion (i‘raad) which becomes an invalidator from amongst the invalidators of
Islaam is aversion from learning the asl (basic foundation) of the Religion by which a person
becomes a Muslim even if he is ignorant of the details of the Religion, because knowledge of the
details of the Religion is not possessed by anyone except for the Scholars and students of knowledge.

EXPLANATION OF THE TEXT BY SHAYKH AL-WASAABEE:

Shaykh Ahmed al-Wasaabee (hafidhahullaah) gave a short explanation and mentioned to us that
aversion and turning away from the deen of Allaah, not learning and not acting upon it is a great
wrongdoing as Allaah mentions,

‫ﻮ ﹶﻥ‬‫ﺘ ِﻘﻤ‬‫ﻨ‬‫ﲔ ﻣ‬

Mujrimûn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.). (As-Sajdah 32:22)

Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) has described the one who turns away as a wrongdoer, and he mentions
that the one who has turned away from the deen of Allaah that he lives a terrible and evil life and
that Allaah (subhaana wa ta'laa) leaves him and does not take care of him nor take interest in him and
turns away from him as he has turned away from Allaah. He shall be from the ones that have turned
away from Allaah on the day of judgement.

The Shaykh then mentioned to us the statement of Allaah the Exalted,

And who does more wrong than he who is reminded of the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,

Truly, We have set veils over their hearts lest they should understand this (the Qur'ân), and in their ears,
deafness. And if you (O Muhammad SAW) call them to guidance, even then they will never be guided.
(Al-Kahf 18:57)

Shaykh Ahmed mentioned this verse, and explained this verse saying that the one who turns away
and makes aversion from the deen of Allaah that (…Words unclear…) is forbidden.
