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.
Fasting
Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami explains that fasting Shaʿbān in full or mostly is a confirmed Sunnah. However, the practice of fasting only the middle day and worshipping that night is an innovation and not permitted. The Prophet ﷺ did not prescribe it.
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.
Methodology
Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhali explains that if trusted scholars declare someone an innovator, their statement should be followed. It is not correct to treat the accused as equal to the scholars or to doubt their judgement.
Methodology
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmī warns against callers who claim to be Salafi yet mix with hizbīs, reject refutations, and defend innovators. True Salafiyyah requires enjoining good, forbidding evil, and correcting falsehood based on the Qur’an and Sunnah.
Methodology
Shaykh Rabīʿ warns not to call someone Salafi if they defend innovators or oppose the Salafi manhaj. True Salafiyyah is shown through clear loyalty, correct creed, calling to the truth, and distancing from bidah.
Knowledge
Shaykh Muqbil warns against rejecting knowledgeable brothers simply for grammatical mistakes in Arabic. He stresses that knowledge of hadith and meanings is more important, and one should benefit from scholars of the Sunnah while improving language skills.
Methodology
A collection of scholars rejects the claim that a consensus is needed to refute innovators. They explain that evidence is the basis of truth, and refutation is required even if only one qualified scholar exposes the falsehood.
Methodology
Shaykh al-Madkhali explains that relying on a few scholars in refutation is not harmful. The true criterion is adherence to the Sunnah, knowledge, and piety. Only a few qualified experts are trusted in al-jarḥ wa al-taʿdīl, just like in early generations.
Family Affairs
Shaykh Salih Aal-Shaykh explains that a husband must teach his family about religion, not just manage household affairs. Abu Darda’s wife became knowledgeable because he guided her, so every Muslim should educate and protect their household through knowledge.
