Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wadi’i explains that when both praise and criticism exist, detailed criticism takes precedence if it comes from reliable scholars. However, if the critic is weak, biased, or has a hidden agenda, their criticism is not accepted. Context and credibility must be checked.
Khawārij and Extremism
Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali explains that bombing non Muslim or Muslim lands is unlawful and not true jihad. These acts violate treaties, cause mass harm, and resemble the Khawārij. Those involved must repent and submit to Islamic law, as their actions are transgression and oppression.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhali warns against the new group al-Mukhadilyun who abandon Ahl al-Sunnah and spread false accusations. Their goal is to weaken the Sunnah from within and mislead ordinary Muslims. The faithful must remain firm and avoid their influence.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that refuting those who oppose the Sunnah is part of the Prophet’s ﷺ methodology. The Qur’an and Sunnah contain many refutations, and the Salaf practiced this. Staying silent to avoid division is not correct.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Rabi stresses that if a shaykh makes a mistake, you must accept the truth even if it contradicts your shaykh. Do not follow blindly or become partisan. Criticism based on evidence and respect is allowed, and mistakes must be corrected regardless of status.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Shaykh Rabi warns against blind loyalty to personalities, groups, or methodologies. He urges Muslims to follow the truth based on evidence and to unite under Allah’s guidance. Patience, humility, and steadfastness on the Sunnah are essential for true unity.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muqbil advises Muslims to avoid attending the lectures, gatherings, and mosques of hizbis and innovators. He encourages praying on the Sunnah, even with only a few people, and returning only when they follow correct Islamic teachings.
Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muqbil advises Ahl al-Sunnah to avoid attending gatherings or lectures of people of innovation. Doing so weakens their influence and prevents spreading falsehood. He emphasizes that these meetings are based on deception, so avoiding them is a strong form of advising.
Muslim Brotherhood and Political Groups
Hizbiyah means partisan loyalty to a deviant ideology that opposes the Qur’an and Sunnah. A hizb is not required to be organized; it is any group that clings to false beliefs and argues for them. If they are organized, their corruption is even greater.
Khawārij and Extremism
The scholars explain that the Prophet ﷺ did not praise the Khawarij. The hadith about their prayer and fasting ends with a warning that they will leave the religion like an arrow passing through a target. This is a clear dispraise, not praise, and praising them is incorrect.
Ramaḍān and Fasting
Swimming while fasting is not recommended because water can enter the mouth and throat, which may break the fast. This applies to both salt water and fresh water, as it is possible for water to go down the throat during swimming.
Ramaḍān and Fasting
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī addresses the ruling on using an asthma inhaler while fasting. He explains that since the inhaler does not contain food or drink, it is unclear whether it invalidates the fast, and further clarification is required regarding its contents and effect.
