Grandson of Saudi Sheikh declared his contempt for Kadyrov

Salikh Ibn Baz, a descendant of the former Mufti of Saudi Arabia, has accused the head of Chechnya of lying about Wahhabis and oppressions of Muslims. The religious advisor to Ramzan Kadyrov has invited him to Chechnya, but Ibn Baz expressed his contempt for Kadyrov.

Adam Shakhidov, an advisor to the head of Chechnya, tried to defend his boss in a dispute with Salikh Ibn Baz, a grandson of the former Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Abdel-Aziz Ibn Baz, who until his death in 1999 was regarded to be one of the most respected Salafi Muslim scholars. The Sheikh's grandson reacted to Kadyrov's statement about the Wahhabis, who, in his opinion, killed supporters of Prophet Muhammad.

In his Twitter, Salikh Ibn Baz has commented on an excerpt from Kadyrov's speech, in which he called to kill Wahhabis and cursed them.

According to Salikh, books by Muhammad Ibn Abdel-Wakhkhab are available; and he had failed to find anything in them that would contradict the teachings of the Prophet.

The above Adam Shakhidov, an advisor to the head of Chechnya on religious matters, has volunteered to "discuss this video and what had preceded it," with Salikh.

The debate continued with the participation of other users, who disputed Shakhidov's arguments. He could not challenge the arguments of his opponents, who called Kadyrov's allegations false. He invited Salikh to come to Chechnya and meet Kadyrov.

Salikh Ibn Baz has answered that "he had nothing but contempt for the oppressor," the "Kavkaz.Realii" has reported.
