Bin Baz

Background
There is a clash between the Salafi and Deobandi communities on many fiqhi issues. While Daniel Haqiqatjou does not adhere to either school of thought directly, in this conversation, Daniel is confronted on the concept of وحدة الوجود which is an issue of contention between the Salafis and the Deobandis.

Haram Action
Haqiqatjou often uses terms like “bootlicker” against the Salafi scholars. This is a haram action because name-calling and insulting your brothers is forbidden in Islam.
Additionally, Daniel claims that the said fatwa provided as evidence was an “obvious fabrication”. The evidence proved that it was not a fabrication at all, and when the original poster provided evidence that debunked that claim, Daniel rejected it completely and insisted on his lie.

Evidence of Haram
Daniel violates the Islamic command to validate news before accepting it, as is stated in Surah Hujurat. He then rejected corrections and even lied that the evidence was a fabrication. He also engages in blatant name-calling.
Allah SWT says: “You who have faith! If a deviator brings you a report, scrutinize it carefully in case you attack people unwittingly and later deplore what you have done.”
Allah SWT says: “Believers, no one group of men should jeer at another, who may, after all, be better than them; no one group of women should jeer at another, who may, after all, be better than them; do not speak ill of one another; do not use offensive nicknames for one another. How bad it is to be called a mischief-maker after accepting faith! Those who do not repent of this behavior are evildoers.”
