Bin Baz Thought the Earth was Flat! And the Sun revolved around it!!!

[Omar HH]

In his infamous al-Adilla al-Naqliyya wa al-Hissiyya `ala Jarayan al-Shamsi wa Sukuni al-Ard ("The Transmitted and Sensory Proofs of the Rotation of the Sun and Stillness of the Earth"), he asserted that the earth was flat and disk-like and that the sun revolved around it.

Wow...

He changed his mind later on though. Good to see he had an open mind.

Sheikh Ibn Baz (raheemallah) was using his opinion from:

"And (do they not look) at the Earth, how it was made FLAT (Sutihat)." [Al-Ghashiyyah (88):20]
