Ibn Taymiyyah:
The attack on the house of Fatimah was to ensure that no public property was hidden inside it!
He writes: The most that can be said in this matter is that Abu Bakr suddenly entered the house of [Fatimah] to see whether any of the wealth of Allah — which was meant to be distributed among the people — was present there, so that he could return it to its rightful recipient.
📚 Minhaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah, vol. 8, p. 291
Muslims in general are in denial on the attack on Lady Fatima Zahra’s (s.a.) house post-martyrdom of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
They need only refer to the views of Ibn Taymiyyah – the founder of modern day Salafism – on the subject.
Ibn Taymiyyah not only confirms the attack but defends the actions of the rulers by advancing a rather ‘imaginative’ rational for the attack.
He claims:
He (second one) barged into the house (of Fatima (s.a.)) to see if there was something from Allah’s money to distribute it or give it to those who deserved it!
