JazakAllah Khayr for sharing. :thumbs_up It's a coincidence that two other Muftis after him are blind aswell. SubhaanAllaah.

Here's a video of him with King Faisal I think:

:sl:

Nice video. I saw it before, but didn't know who he was back then.

Just curious, is Sheikh Abdul Aziz aal ash Sheikh related to him?

[Abu-Muadh]

Thank you Brother jzcasejz and jazaakallaahu khairan. But the link which you have sent seems to be a bad forum, as they insult and assault the scholars like Ibn Baaz and Albani and others. Anyway yes they are blind but Allah has given them high qualities like insight, sound knowledge,good morals,wisdom and heart sight, while there are many who have eyes but their hearts are sealed, their minds are deviated, their ears are deaf and they are just like cattle. May Allah have mercy upon all those great scholars.

Sister Jawharah : Yes Shaykh Muhammad bin Ibrahim is a relative of The contemporary Muftee Shaykh Abdulazeez as both descend from Shaykh Mohammad bin Abdulwahhaab therefore they say Aalush-shaikh which means: from his family. Also the minister of Awqaaf (Shaykh Saleh Aal Ash-shaykh) is their relative.

Thank you all was-salaamu alaikum

Yes that's just Youtube, I guess. They, on the right hand side link videos that are related to the video being played on Youtube and unfortunately you get alot of people uploading videos like that. It's best just to watch it on this thread rather then going to the Youtube site. And btw, the title thing says that Shaykh Bin Baaz is apparently in that video too.

JazakAllaah for pointing that out Bro. :thumbs_up

If someone just come out of this planet and new nothing about us, seeing scholars might make them think that being blind is a blessing, subhanAllah, how 'hard' we find it whilst we have sight, imagine the determination and steadfastness of those who did not. Or maybe it takes something like losing your site to make you realise how much you really depend on Allah and have no control of your own in totality.

Sheikh Ibn Bazz is not related to sheikh Muhamed ibn Ibrahim. The mufti now is. All the sheikhs alush-sheikh are related and are from the descendants of Sheikh ul-Islam Muhammed ibn Abdul-Wahab.

And Sheikh Muhamed ibn Ibrahim is one of the foremost schoolars of the Ummah in our time. In Aqidah he is an undisputed authority. May Allah be merciful to him and addmit him to Jannah. Ameen
