Syed Fadlallah responds,finally..

[TheHealer]

Of late ,as we know, there have been numerous controversies regarding certain statements (attributed) to Syed Fadlallah .

As a matter of fact i had written a detailed e-mail to his office Bayanat, regarding the same issue, i had mentioned in detail, in my e mail, almost all the controversial statements attributed to him . I have got a (comprehensive) response from his office in Arabic, after getting it, i rewrote again to them, requesting the response in English, but it never came ....none the less, from what i presume(considering the shere size of the textual reply, i guess its a very detailed response......

Its my humble request to the Arabic knowing members ,if i may ask, to kindly TRANSLATE this text ( i am attaching it as a File, since the text is too long to copy paste it here).

I am fully aware, that some time back, one of the members" had requested similarly for an English translation to a response he had got in Arabic regarding certain points ( Dua Tawassul autenticity, Tabbara in Ziyarah etc) from Syed Fadlallah.......but trust me the points i had raised were of a totally different nature and much more comprehensive......

If some one , could be kind enough, to spare some time to translate, i would highly appreciate it.( i know the text is a bit long, but even if a summary can be written in English, i guess it MAY suffice).

I was just looking at some of your questions that you sent and some of them are just perposterous....where the heck did you get some of these quotes they are an insult to the ayatullah to even ask.

[Firoz Ali]

I was just looking at some of your questions that you sent and some of them are just perposterous....where the heck did you get some of these quotes they are an insult to the ayatullah to even ask.

Like i said, these statements have been attributed to his eminence Syed Fadlallah, i have not presumed anywhere that he said them , thats why i asked his office to clarify the matter. As for where did i get them from, well they are all over the net, plus we in the past have had numerous threads made here on the chat, and no conclusion could be reached at.........since statements attributed to his Eminence , apparently have been refrenced with name of the book ,page number & so on, and keeping in mind that its not possible for us the lay public to get all these books and find out for ourselves, therefore i thought it best to let his eminences" office clarify the matter.

Now that they have replied, it would be in everybodies intrest to read the response, thats why i requested a translation......

I reiterate again, i would really appreciate someone to translate the text of the reply.

Wasallam

Here is my LOOSE translation. Please accept my mistakes.

[start of Translation]ANSWER:

- These things are what those whom Hate attack and twist At Said Fadlullah. This is a result of not checking the books and ill understanding or intent.

S. F. Sees:

- Al Ghadeer happened no doubt and it points to the Wilayah of Imam Ali (a)

- Al Zahra (a) is the master of women on earth and Paradise. But she is a human, which means she can see blood and it does not conflict with Isma.

- NO real proof Kuffar are Najis. The Aya means internal Najasah.

- Dua Kumail: Imam Ali (a) does not have to have done those things, but mentions them to teach people to be humble.

- Mushaf Fatima (a) has Ahkam and what the angel that was sent to entertain her said.

- Who's better (Prophets and Imams) is not from Usool Al Deen (The Basics of Religion), and some are better than others according to Quran. But no difference in terms they are all Prophets (Anbiya)

- Mousa asking to see Allah is not against Isma. Allah then taught him that cant happen. Allah teaches his prophets in steps. Same in the story with the good Slave (Al Abed al Saleh) (By me: story at end of Al Kahf)

- Surat Abasa coming down for the prophet does not go against his great Akhlaq. He got upset because he was interrupted from delivering the message of Islam. And the prophet used to welcome this man by saying "Allah does not condemn me in you ever" (inshAllah good translation). And the meaning leads to this.

- Imamah is a right established with no doubt, but it is not important knowledge by the Raie (opinion) of all Muslims. But this has been disputed (meaning among muslims).(someone please confirm this meaning)

- About the prophet making Error about delivering an Ayah, this is a misinterpretation. A clear sign of the weakness of the interpreter.

- Tourah and Injeel: Bani israel have changed the words from their place and sold for a cheap price.

- The fathers of the prophet: there is no proof they were Monotheist (Muwahedeen). There is proof they do not commit Fahisha (adultery). The Quran mentions the father (Walid) of prophet Ibrahim (a) that he was a Kafir.

- About the NON shia: they are on what is not right by not holding the Wlayah. But Allah has mentioned that he does not forgive Shirk but forgives all that is less to whom he wills. So forgiveness is in the hands of Allah. and that is what has been narrated from the Imams about the weak and wanting of the laws of Allah.

- About the attack on Al Zahra (a): There is no trusted proof. Not to mention it is far fetched that the Imam Ali (a) will not defend the Wadeah (Left over trusted treasure) of the prophet to the Imam. Also some Bani Hashim were in the house. It is proven she was oppressed and hurt (spiritually) and that she died upset at those whom oppressed her and her Cousin (Imam Ali) his right. And it is proven the attempt at attacking and burning the house. We do not remove the fault from the enemies of Ahlul Bait (a).

- About saying Omar made a Tahreem (forbidding) by Management (Edari, sorry I cant think of a better word). This is not an excuse for Omar. This is still a non legit forbidding that he made without excuse.

we Al Salam Alikom we Rahmatullahi we Barakatoh. [end of LOOSE translation]

This is my final DRAFT. Please feel free to check me on anything.

Peace.

Although syed fadlallah is a knowledgable ayatullah some of his beliefs upset me. It is well known and there are like a billion hadith in our books and books from ahlu sunnah that prove hazrat fatima (as) was killed by Umar (censored) when he lit the the door on fire and kicked it on her (as)

[Maula Dha Mallang]

the way i see it, either the burning of the house happened, or it didnt. ayatollah fadhlallah said it didnt, other, older, more reliable scholars say it did. depends who you think is the most knowledgeable.

also, what is ayatollah fadhlallahs opinion on what caused/ how hazrat mohsin ibn ali (as) died when his mother miscarried?

Salam,

Based on his research, he presents an answer you do not agree with. It's not a determining factor nor does it reflect on his spirituality or role as amaraje...honestly folks there is so much more to Islam.

OP, Thank you for posting, it does take a while to respond depending on the questions.
