Haram Haqiqatjou #34: Slandering Shaykh Haitham al-Haddad
Background
In March of 2023, Daniel Haqiqatjou slandered Shaykh Haitham Haddad on several different issues. “At the end of the post, Yasir says he fully agrees with Haitham Haddad’s article. Yeah, of course, you do, Yasir because it’s just a regurgitation of your own dumb trash. Haddad is clearly a murid of qadhi on these issues, so his statement is not worth anything. Haddad is also the guy who was telling Muslims that voting is an obligation! It is wajib, meaning, those who don’t vote are committing a sin. Who can take such a person seriously?”
Haram Action
To make matters worse, in July of 2023, with no public apology to Shaykh Haytham, Haqiqatjou shared an article of Shaykh Haytham’s written in 2016 on The Dangerous Relationship Between Money and Dawah. The article is a great analysis of the topic. The haram here: Haqiqatjou’s slander has yet to be apologized for. This instance of a Haram Haqiqatjou is a great illustration of the loose cannon that is Daniel Reza Jou.
Evidence of Haram
Al-Mustawrid reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever eats so much as a morsel at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will feed him the likes of it in Hell. Whoever clothes himself with a garment at the expense of a Muslim’s reputation, then Allah will clothe him with the likes of it in Hell. Whoever stands in a position of repute and fame at the expense of a man, then Allah will make him stand in a position of repute and fame on the Day of Resurrection.”
