What do you say about Shaykh Ibn Jibreen? Is he from amongst the scholars, or not?
Question:
“Oh Shaykh, what do you say about Shaykh Ibn Jibreen? Is he from amongst the scholars, or not? There are people here in ‘Iraq, who speak (ill) of him.”
Answer:
“Tayyib. Oh my brothers! The Shaykh ‘Abdullah, the honourable Shaykh 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman al-Jibreen, is one of our brothers from the students of knowledge. He is known for having knowledge and acting according to it, and known for being active in teaching this knowledge, and he has practical influence in scientific positions in the Kingdom. And he is a man, who belongs to the benefactors of the Muslims, carrying the Book of Allah, knowledgeable in the Religion of Allah, with a good and noble character and modesty. We know him, and we judge him to be so, and we do not praise anybody before Allah. And it is not allowed for a Muslim, to busy him or herself with the mistakes of the scholars, and to insult them without proof, since this is a defect in the Imaan of people.”
Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh, may Allah preserve him
