Don't be such a fanatic! (http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=11283&dgn=2)
Whoever is advised concerning something that is haraam according
to sharee’ah, so that he can avoid it or give it up, or is told of an
obligation so that he can fulfil it, then he says something like this,
is doing wrong. What he should do, if he is advised, is to thank the
person who has offered the advice, then he should look at himself
and if the advice was justified, then he should avoid the haraam
thing and do what is obligatory. As far as his comment “you are a
fanatic” is concerned, fanaticism, laxity and moderation are all to
be understood in reference to sharee’ah. Whatever is in
accordance with sharee’ah is moderate; whatever exceeds that is
extreme and whatever falls short of that is laxity. The standard in
all cases is sharee’ah and the meaning of moderation is that which
is in accordance with the sharee’ah. Whatever is in accordance
with sharee’ah is moderate.
