Question: The questioner says: What is the meaning of the statement from some of the Salaf: The innovatorsare 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 اللّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا

They try to deceive Allah and those who believe…(SoorahAl-Baqarah 2:9)

And they conceal the evil. And when they have the ability to spread evil, they spread it, just like the scorpion.
