All Praise belongs to Allaah, Lord of all the worlds, May His prayers and blessings be
upon the final Prophet Muhammad, his Family, his Companions and all those who follow
his way.
From amongst the greatest blessings of Allaah Ta'aala upon this Ummah is that He has
placed wisdom in the hearts of the people of knowledge. Just as one of the Salaf said:
"Whoever has many Aathaar (narrations), then he speaks with wisdom."
And from amongst the people of knowledge of our time was the great Muhadith, Faqih,
Allaama ash-Shaykh Muhammad Nasir ud-Deen al-Albaani – May Allaah have mercy on
him.
This book is an amended transcript of one of the many, many sittings with the illustrious
Shaykh, where he was asked about the issue of Takfeer. The sitting took place in Jordan.
The transcript was amended by the Shaykh to make it suitable for print.
We ask our Lord Azza wa Jal to make this work a beacon of light, illuminating the path
for those who have lost the way. We also ask Him to reward our noble Shaykh al-Albaani
and place him in the hereafter among the ranks of the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs,
and the righteous, and they are the best of companions.
