Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Aal-Shaykh explains that the Imams of Islam gave great attention to refuting innovators because their harm is more dangerous to Muslims than open disbelief. Innovators spread misguidance in the name of Islam, while disbelief is already clear and known.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī warns against seeking funding from Hizb organisations such as Ihyaa at-Turāth. He urges Salafīs to remain self-sufficient, rely on what Allah ﷻ has provided, and preserve the Salafi methodology, warning that external wealth can corrupt the call and cause division.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī advises the Salafi youth to cling to the Qurʾān and Sunnah, avoid division and innovation, and uphold the methodology of the righteous predecessors. He emphasises unity, sincere adherence to the primary sources, and distancing oneself from causes of discord.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Muḥammad Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn explains that those who declare others disbelievers without meeting the conditions of takfīr are the inheritors of the Khawārij. He stresses that takfīr requires knowledge and intent, and it is not permissible to hastily label actions or people as lawful or unlawful.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān explains that not refuting innovators is what hardens the heart, as doubts take root and grow. Refuting falsehood with the truth softens hearts and returns people to the correct path, based on the Qurʾān and Sunnah.
Khawārij and Extremism
In this concise ruling, Shaykh ʿAbd al-Muḥsin al-ʿAbbād clarifies the true nature of al-Qaʿidah. While some label them Khawārij and others call them mujahidūn, the Shaykh states that they are mujahidūn only for the devil.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh al-Albani explains that forming Islamic organisations or unions is not permissible in Islam because it leads to hizbiyyah (partisanship). He emphasizes that Islam does not support forming separate groups or parties based on religious labels.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali strongly criticizes a group on al-Oloom.net, calling them ignorant and liars. He accuses them of misquoting and spreading false statements, especially regarding his fatwa on elections, and highlights the need for accurate representation of scholars’ views.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin explains that terrorism harms Islam’s image and drives people away from the faith. Acts like bombings are not Jihad and are rejected. Islam is free from such violence, and true change must come through wisdom and proper guidance.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali explains that boycotting an innovator is not limited to a specific time, but must follow clear advice and warning. If the person persists and spreads innovation, then boycotting is required until they repent. Shaykh Rabīʿ and Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan stress avoiding innovators to protect one’s faith.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan clarifies that calling Uthman’s introduction of the Friday athan an innovation is itself an innovation. Uthman, a rightly guided caliph, enacted it to alert people for Jumu’ah, and it became a Sunnah, not a bid’ah.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari explains that those who defend innovators are either unaware or knowingly supporting them. The first should be educated, while the second must be warned and avoided. Boycotting is essential, but advising can still occur without companionship or friendship.
