Again, this is very common knoweldge. Salafi Sheikhs would issue Fatwa's whenever it suited their geo-political situation. They are scum, and a curse upon Somalia.

The following hadeeth does indicate that though:
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) one day said: Do you know where the sun goes? They replied: Allaah and His Prophet know best. He (the Prophet) observed: Verily it (the sun) glides till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it falls prostrate and remains there until it is asked: Rise up and go to the place whence you came, and it goes back and continues emerging out from its rising place and then glides till it reaches its place of rest under the Throne and falls prostrate and remains in that state until it is asked: Rise up and return to the place whence you came, and it returns and emerges out from it rising place and the it glides (in such a normal way) that the people do not discern anything ( unusual in it) till it reaches its resting place under the Throne. Then it would be said to it: Rise up and emerge out from the place of your setting, and it will rise from the place of its setting. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said. Do you know when it would happen? It would happen at the time when faith will not benefit one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from the faith.
[Sahih Muslim: No. 297]
Our Brother Abu Khadeejah told us that Shaikh Ibn Baaz (rahimahullah) held the view that the Sun goes around the Earth. And He (rahimahullah), used this hadith above as evidence that the Sun revolves around the Earth and NOT the other way round. He also said that the one who rejects this has committed kufr, because he has also rejected the hadith (quoted above), which is proof that the sun orbits the Earth.
Shaikh Ibn Baaz also held the view that the Earth is static and does not move. However, he did not consider the one who rejected this as one who has committed kufr. So if someone holds the opposite view, that the Earth does move, then it is not said that he has committed kufr.
This was mentioned by the brother Abu Khadeejah at the East London Friday circle, (30th January 2003), during the Q&A session.
Now, where is the audio where Shaykh bin baz praised Bin laden?
