Someone asked him: “How can the Orientalists be refuted?”

Shaykh Mustafa Azami (Allah have mercy on him) advised us not to spend our time refuting the Orientalists.

He said that he had spent all his life refuting them, but their objective was not to find the truth, rather to create wrong comments. After you work on displacing the doubts created by them, they’re not going to apologize and mend their ways. Rather, they’ll manufacture a new falsehood. And so, your life will pass in cleaning up the dirt created by them. You should instead work on putting forward the truth. This was the advice he gave us.
