Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the correct definition of innovation and warns against falsely labelling others as innovators. He states that true innovators must be advised, and if they persist, they and their followers are to be boycotted and avoided, as they share the same error.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that, for the people of the Sunnah and Jamāʿah, there is no such thing as a good innovation. He emphasises the Prophet’s ﷺ statement that every innovation is misguidance, and warns that claiming otherwise rejects the Prophet’s ﷺ teaching.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Shaykh Muḥammad al-Madkhali emphasises that true role models are those who have passed away, as the living may face trials and deviate. He notes the decline of several figures, including Yahya al-Hajuri, who ultimately aligned with Abūl-Hasan and Ali Hasan.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari warns against Yahya al-Hajuri’s major deviations, including his attacks on the Prophet’s ﷺ Sunnah and his extreme loyalty system. He explains that defending al-Hajuri indicates ignorance or acceptance of his errors, and that his influence harms the Salafi community worldwide.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn explains that the second athan on Friday, called when the imam arrives, is part of the Sunnah. Uthman ibn Affan introduced the first athan only to prepare people due to increasing numbers. Calling this an innovation is incorrect and disrespectful to the Companions.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi‘i criticizes those who praise or support violent extremists like Osama bin Laden and Abu Hamza. He highlights that true Salafis reject such groups, and warns that their actions harm Muslims worldwide and spread fear and injustice.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ubayd al-Jabiri explains that repentance from innovation follows the same conditions as repentance from sin. If the innovation was public or widely promoted, the repentance must also be public, with the individual clearly retracting, correcting, and clarifying the truth.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi strongly criticizes Yahya al-Hajuri’s claims and characterizes his statements as false, arrogant, and misleading. He warns against studying under him, rejects his accusations against scholars, and emphasizes that such behavior is not befitting for a student of knowledge.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains how the Salaf identified innovators by their companions, gatherings, and behavior. If someone mixes with innovators, it reveals their true methodology. Advising them is only valid with knowledge and success, otherwise staying away is safer to protect one’s faith.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Ibn Baz explains that the Khawarij are extreme in declaring sinful Muslims as disbelievers. While many scholars call them misguided sinners, the correct view is that their persistent takfir and rejection of Muslims place them outside Islam, as shown by the Prophet’s ﷺ warnings.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin explains that the Khawarij appear outwardly pious, but their worship does not reach the heart. Like an arrow piercing through a target, they pass through Islam quickly and then abandon it, showing their true emptiness.
Shīʿah
Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydan explains that Iran was historically Sunni, mainly following the Shafi‘i school. In the 9th century AH, the Safawi king Isma‘il bin Haidar carried out mass killings of Sunni scholars and followers, leading to Iran’s shift toward Shia dominance.
