Innovators are like
scorpions
Explained by Shaykh
Fawzan
Question: The
questioner says: What is the meaning of the statement from some of the Salaf:
The innovators are like the scorpion, he buries his head while leaving his tail
out, such that when he is able to, he stings?
Shaykh Fawzan: Yes.
This speech is clear. The people of innovation have with them hypocrisy. The
people of innovation have been afflicted with hypocrisy. And it is that they
display good while they hide evil, they display good to the people as a way of
deception.
يُخَادِعُونَ اللهَ وَ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا
They try to deceive
Allah and those who believe… (Soorah Al-Baqarah 2:9)
And they conceal the
evil. And when they have the ability to spread evil, they spread it, just like the
scorpion.
