Question: Oh our Shaikh, who are the Ahbaash (الأحباش)?
Answer: “They are the followers of Abdullah al-Habashi. This is what I just said. This man is from the Mu’attilah (those who deny the Attributes of Allah) and from those who declare the Imams of the of Salaf, like Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah and other than him, as disbelievers. These people are dangerous nowadays in Lebanon, unfortunately, because Lebanon nowadays lies in ruins. There is no Islamic callers in it and it is as it was said before:
خلا لك الجو فبيضي واصفري
You were isloated in the [good] weather
So you laid eggs and whistled”
