Salaam

I took the brother's word for it that the Shaykh specified 20 years. If he did not say it, I repent from my earlier comment. Astaghfirullah.

I agree that no one Shaykh has the claim to 100% truth and that we should be open-minded. However, the amount of conviction with which the Shaykh said that the FSA are terrorists has made me very very wary of taking anything from him that relates to politics. If he teaches me Shafi'i fiqh, then Alhamdulillah - no problem.

He gives his opinion (with conviction) and he may be (most likely) wrong. Have you or Ulamah whom you know have NEVER been wrong about anything in life? Its about politics and hence he is making Ijtehaad there have been numerous examples in Islamic history where Ulamah and pious have made political Ijtehaad and have been wrong and lives have been lost due to it. Heard of MMA in Pakistan? Is their Ijtehaad of joining hands with everyone based on Qur'aan & Sunnah? Has it brought the right results? Did their endorsement of LFO not strengthen Musharraf?
