Regarding those who were pleased at the death of Shaykh Ibn Jibreen
Question:
“May Allah reward you. This questioner says that some of the students of knowledge became happy at the death of Shaykh Ibn Jibreen, may Allah have mercy on him. And so is this a correct thing to do?”
Answer:
“This is not permissible. To be happy at the death of a Muslim in general is not permissible, because this is a loss for Islaam. So how then about the death of a scholar (‘alim)? How then about the death of a scholar (‘alim)? It is not permissible for them to be happy at the death of a scholar, from among the scholars of the Muslims. This can only be from either ignorance or nifaaq (hypocrisy), and refuge is sought with Allah. Yes.”

السؤال: أثابكم الله هذا سائل يقول أنّ بعض طلاب العلم استبشروا بوفاة الشيخ ابن جبرين رحمه الله، فهل هذا الفعل صحيح؟
الشيخ صالح الفوزان: هذا لا يجوز، الاستبشار بموت المسلم عمومًا لا يجوز، لأن هذا ثُلمةٌ في الإسلام، فكيف بموت العالم؟! كيف بموت العالم؟
فلا يجوز هذا أنهم يفرحون بموت عالم من علماء المسلمين
هذا إنما يكون إما عن جهل وإما أن يكون عن نفاق والعياذ بالله
