i agree. even when he used to appear on noor tv, he was very weak. his knowledge of fiqh left a lot to be desired. i remember him not knowing a very basic issue of salah and the host having to help out. they used to refer to him as a mufti which always made me laugh in disappointment. side note: our tv channels need to stop referring to everyone who appears on a q&a show as a mufti. it is cringeworthy. good point.
Sidi Aqdas, that is really sad. May Allah protect us! It shows the dangers of leaving the ijma on "small" issues....
Jamia Masjid Ghausia & Community Centre Walsall WS2 8NF sunday, 16 may zuhr till 'asr. --- there is a lot of controversy at present in walsall regarding the shi'a and their activities. they have a get together every week and are trying to get sunnis of walsall to join them. the spearhead is a man who used to claim to be a sunni, ameen madni, who is now a shi'a. he used to be the imam at minhaj ul qur'an walsall and using his former post to persuade his students to come to the shi'a gathering. sunnis of walsall have invited sayyid irfan mash'hadi to this event to, inshaAllah, challenge this fitna. let all sunnis beware: ameen madni who used to be the imam at smethwick masjid too, has become a shi'a. he regularly appears on a shi'a tv channel and supports those insulters all the way. i only thought he was a tafzili but obviously, as our scholars have written, tafzil is the first step on the ladder leading to rafz.
