More "innovators"!

Alhamidullah the lentil soup was good ( for su7hur) but before I go to sleep another scholar that is considered an "innovator". A scholar that he uses himself in his article i.e. Shiekh Muhammad Abu Zahrah

Now the Shiekh had made mistakes before (but really who has not? I mean if we look for perfection in people we will never find knowledge) but he has an interesting thing to say about this issue.

In his book Al Jariemma wal al3quba fi fiqh al Islami ( Al Jarimaa p 343), he has this to say

".........and with the application of the criteria of Abu Yusuf and Muhammad and those who follow them from the fuquha, the Islamic nations? ( I need to find a better word here for aqaleem) no longer become Dar Islam but Dar Harb because the Islamic laws do not appear and are not applied. "

He does hold onto a different position. He still thinks that there are a section of scholars that hold onto the position of that "innovator" Taqi Deen Al Nabahani. Abu Zaharah must be an "innovator" too. How dare he? lol!

Ok I am off to sleep now.
