| IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST BENEFICENT, THE MOST MERCIFUL |
Majmoo’ Fataawa al-Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Baaz (7/407-412). Shaykh Ibn Baaz also issued another fatwa stating that the Baha’is are kaafirs. He was asked about the views of Baha’-Allah who claimed to be a Prophet, and also claimed that Allah was incarnated in him. Is it permissible for the Muslims to bury these kaafirs in the Muslim graveyards? He replied: And because there are mutawaatir reports from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stating that he is the Seal of the Prophets and there is no Prophet after him. Similarly the one who claims that Allah is incarnated in him or in any other creature is a kaafir according to the consensus of the Muslims, because Allah, may He be glorified, is not incarnated in any of His creatures; rather He is greater and mightier than that. Whoever believes that is a kaafir according to the consensus of the Muslims, and he is denying the verses and ahaadeeth that say that Allah is above the Throne, and He is above all His creation. He, may He be glorified, is the Most High, the Great and there is none like unto Him or comparable to Him. He described Himself to His slaves as follows (interpretation of the meaning):
"Indeed, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty)"
