Is Shaykh Al Albani a deviant, and why?
Answer
Shaykh Naasir-al-Deen al-Albaani was a learned person.
Many scholars had scholarly differences with him. It is incorrect to declare Shaykh al-Albaani a deviant person due to his independent scholarly views.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
