The Salafi Metholdolgy
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Hadi advises students to keep in touch with their scholars and fellow students after graduation. He stresses that ongoing contact helps preserve unity, trust, and correct knowledge, especially during trials. Staying connected ensures scholars know your status and can guide you rightly.
The Salafi Metholdolgy
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.
Current Affairs
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī al-Madkhali clarifies that the Friday athān introduced by ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān is not an innovation. As a rightly guided caliph, he enacted it to address a genuine need, and Muslims are commanded to follow his Sunnah, as affirmed by the Prophet ﷺ.
Innovations and It’s People
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.
Innovations and It’s People
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains that warning against innovators and exposing false beliefs is a major act of piety and a form of jihad for the sake of Allah ﷻ. He adds that those who oppose such refutations are either ignorant or following their desires.
Knowledge
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the statement of Ibn Sirin, emphasizing that Islamic knowledge must be taken directly from trustworthy scholars who are sound in knowledge and religion, and not merely from books, recordings, or the internet.
Methodology
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali explains that the Salaf judged a person by three signs: who he accompanies, who he visits, and who he keeps close ties with. After these, no further inquiry was needed.
Methodology
Shaykh Muqbil explains that a detailed scholarly criticism is sufficient, even if only one scholar has refuted an innovator. Truth depends on evidence, not on consensus, and a trustworthy scholar’s refutation must be accepted.
Methodology
Shaykh Muhammad Bazmul explains that detailed criticism takes precedence over praise, even if praised by respected scholars. Praise does not nullify evidence-based refutation, and those who persist in error often refuse repentance due to pride and fear of losing followers.
Innovations and It’s People
Shaykh Muhammad Ramzān al-Hājirī advises that a young student may warn against known innovated groups and clearly identified innovators, but should not habitually label people as innovators. Such detailed criticism is reserved for qualified scholars.
Methodology
Shaykh Muqbil warns against reading books or listening to recordings of those who were once Salafi but later deviated. He advises staying away from their works and lectures, emphasizing the need for their repentance and return to the Book and Sunnah.
Methodology
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that when a scholar agrees with the innovators on any matter of creed or fundamental principles, he is considered to be part of them and becomes an innovator himself.
