Is there harm in warning against these Sects that are in opposition to the Methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah? | Shaykh al-Fawzan

QUESTION: Is there harm in warning against these Sects that are in opposition to the Methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah?

ANSWER: “We warn against all those who oppose [the Salaf] generally and we say: ‘We adhere to the path of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah and we we abandon those who oppose Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah regardless of whether their opposition is MAJOR or MINOR. This is because if we are lenient with the opposition, then perhaps it may grow and increase. So opposition is not allowed AT ALL. Furthermore, it is obligatory to adhere to the path of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah in both major and minor issues.”

QUESTION: Are we require to mention the good qualities of those we warn against?

ANSWER: “If you mention their good qualities, then this means that you have called (the people) to follow them. Know, DO NOT MENTION THEIR GOOD QUALITIES. Mention the error they are upon only. You are not entrusted to praise and approve of their actions – you are ONLY entrusted with exposing the error they are upon so that they may repent from it, and so others can beware of it. It may even be that the error that they are upon wipes away their good deeds if it is kufr or shirk. It could also be that this error outweighs their good deeds. And perhaps it may seem like they are good deeds in your eyes, yet they ARE NOT SO IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAAH.”

Refutation upon the People of Innovation | By: Shaykh`Abdul-`Azeez Aal ush-Shaykh

Question: What do you say concerning the statement of the speaker: Indeed, the refutations upon the people of innovations and deviation were not the habitual practice of the Salaf, and that it is not befitting to spread the books of refutations, except amongst the students of knowledge and that they should not be spread amongst other than them?

Answer: The refutations upon the people of innovation are from Jihaad in the path of Allaah. They are from safeguarding the Sharee’ah from having other than it attached to it. So writing the books, publishing them and spreading them is the truth and it is a call to the truth and Jihaad in the path of Allaah. So whoever claims that publishing and spreading the books that contain refutation upon the innovators is an innovated affair, then he is upon error, because Allaah the Sublime and Exalted said,“O Prophet! Strive hard against the hypocrites and be harsh with them.” [Sooratut-Tawbah 9:73] And Jihaad can occur by the hand, or it can be with the tongue, or it can be with the wealth. So from Jihaad with the tongue is defending and safeguarding this Sharee’ah from everything that has been fabricated into it from doubts and falsities. And from that as well is warning against the innovations and calling to the truth. Due to this, Imaam Ahmad (d.241H) and other than him authored books warning against the innovators. So Imaam Ahmad wrote the treatise, ar-Radd ’alaz-Zanaadiqah within which, he clarified their doubts. And he answered every doubt. And al-Bukhaaree (d.256H) – rahimahullaah – wrote his book, Khalq Af’aalul-’Ibaad. And other than them from amongst the Imaams of Islaam wrote books in refutation of the innovators and invalidated their falsities and established the proofs against them. Likewise, Shaykhul-Islaam [Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H)] wrote in refutation upon the Raafidah in his famous book, Minhaajus-Sunnatin-Nabawiyyah fee Naqd Kalaamish-Shee’ah wal-Qadariyyah. And he clarified what they were upon from falsehood and misguidance. Grand Muftee of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, His eminence, Shaykh ’Abdul-’Azeez Ibn ’Abdullaah aalush-Shaykh

MUST READ- Imam Al-Albani: The Prophetic Description of ‘Dogs of Hellfire’ and Contemporary Takfiri Kharijites

The late and great hadith Scholar, Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani (rahimahullaah) stated about the contemporary takfiri and revolutionary movements that were spawned in the 1960s onwards, [the head of them being Sayyid Qutb, the following:

(Translated from Arabic)

And the intent here is that they instituted an evil way (sunnah) into Islam and made revolting against the ruler to be an act of devotion (deen) over the passing of time and (passing) of days despite the warning of the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) against them in many ahaadeeth, from them, his saying (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), “The Kharijites are the Dogs of Hellfire.” And despite the fact they did not see clear, plain manifest disbelief from them (the rulers), but only what is less than that of oppression, tyranny and sin. And today, history repeats itself as they say, for there has emerged a new band amongst the Muslim youth who did not understand except very little of the religion and they hold that the rulers do not rule by what Allaah has revealed except little, and they held [the obligation] of revolting against them without consulting with the people of knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Rather, they followed their heads, kindled blind tribulations, and shed blood in Egypt, Syria and Algeria, and prior to that (was) the tribulation of the sacred precincts in Makkah. Through (these activities) they opposed the authentic hadeeth upon which all the Muslims, the earlier ones and the later ones abided by, except for the Kharijites.

Refer to al-Silsilah al-Sahihah (7/1240-1241).

We should not take knowledge from Saleh al-Munajjid or Islamqa – Read this!

1) Shaykh Uthmaan Ibn AbdAllaah al Saalamee

Translation:

 Should we listen to the lectures of Muhummed Saalih al Munajjid?

Answer: We previously said that this man praises the books of Seyyid Qutb رحيمة الله. So we advise to avoid whom ever possesses these similar characteristics because some of them incite making Takfeer on the rulers. They incite the youth to revolutions and to overthrow the rulers. Any one that calls to these actions, then avoid their lectures. WAllaahu Musta’aan. He has some subjects that don’t speak about these matters. Yet AlhumduAllaah, benefit from others, like from, Shaykh al Fawzaan, Shaykh Saalih al Luhaydaan, Shaykh al A’baad, Shaykh Al al Shaykh, and likewise, Shaykh Rabee’, Shaykh Muhummed Ibn Haadi al Madkhalee, Shaykh ‘Ubayd al Jaabiree,

Can i listen to Mishary al-Efasy? – Shaykh ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree

Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree touches upon Mishary Alafasy (al-Mishari al-Efasi)

Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree was asked (8th Jumadah al-Aakhirah 1428H)

What is the ruling on listening to the remembrances of the morning and evening (recited) in a melodious (entertaining) way, such as the cassette distributed now in the markets of al-Mishari al-Efasi?

The Shaykh responded:

Mishari al-Efasi is from those put to trial by the way of the Mutasawwifah. For this reason he takes the path of anaasheeds accompanied with acting and the likes of this is not permissible to listen to. Upon you is to (turn to) reciters from the Salafis such as Shaykh Ali al-Hudhayfi.
