The late Shaykh Ahmad bin Yahyaa an-Najmee (rahimahullaah) was asked:

Some people claim that Bin Ladin is the awaited mahdee (leader) and they grant him the title "Chief of the Believers". So what is your advice in this [matter]?

The Shaykh responded:

These (ones) are the devils (shayaateen). They are the devils. Bin Ladin is a Shaytaan Khabeeth (a filthy devil), a Kharijite (a renegade revolter). It is not permissible for anyone to praise him. Anyone who praises him, then this is evidence that he is a Kharijite just like him ... anyone who praises him, then this is evidence that he is a Kharijite just like him.
