[14] A Brief Look at Pseudo Researchers in Salafiyyah: [Examination of a Fabricated Quietist Faction Within Salafiyyah Called Mad’khalism]
In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.
Samura Bin Jundub [may Allah be pleased with him] said: The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “I saw (in a dream), two men came to me.” Then the Prophet narrated the story (saying), “They said, ‘The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection”. [(1)]
The liars at Wikipedia stated: A cornerstone of Madkhalist discourse is unquestioning loyalty to governments in public, even those that use extreme and unjustified violence against their subjects. Unlike other Islamist groups which often oppose totalitarian, mostly secular governments in the Middle East, the Madkhalist movement is openly supportive of such regimes. Madkhalists argue that the governments of Arab countries are not to be revolted even if they are oppressive. They hold that God has given the highest Muslim authority this right due to the 59th Quranic verse in Surah of the Women translated: “Oh those who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those who have authority amongst you”. And also due to some other prophetic traditions; anyone who rejects their view is labelled as a member of the Khawarij, a Muslim sect. [End of quote]
Response: First of all, as we have repeatedly established in this series, there is no such thing as a “Mad’khalist Movement or Strain” within Salafiyyah, rather, this term was concocted by those who want to vilify Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah protect him] because he rebutted and exposed those figureheads of Bidah who attempted to undermine or falsify the sound Salafi Methodology. The damn liars at Wikipedia make up yet another lie about the Salafiyyoon, claiming that they show unwavering loyalty to governments in public. However, the Qur’an and the Sunnah command Muslims to obey Muslim rulers when they give good orders and they are not obeyed in sin and transgression, but revolt is not allowed even when they are tyrants. Allah [The Exalted] said:
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأۡمُرُكُمۡ أَن تُؤَدُّواْ ٱلۡأَمَـٰنَـٰتِ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهَا وَإِذَا حَكَمۡتُم بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ أَن تَحۡكُمُواْ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ نِعِمَّا يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦۤۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ سَمِيعَۢا بَصِيرً۬ا
يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِى شَىۡءٍ۬ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِۚ ذَٲلِكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلاً
Verily! Allah commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is the teaching that He (Allah) gives you! Truly, Allah is Ever All-Hearer and All-Seer. O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger, if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayaat 58-59]
Imam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “The first verse, according to the scholars, was revealed in relation to the rulers; it commands them to return trusts to those to whom they are due and to judge justly between the people. The second verse was revealed in reference to those who are under the ruler’s authority, including the armies and others, that it is obligated to them to obey the rulers who uphold justice in their distributions, rulings, military campaigns, and other matters, with the exception of times when they give one orders to disobey Allah, as there cannot be obedience to the creation in disobedience Allah. And if they disagree on anything, they should refer back to Allah’s Book and His Messenger’s Sunnah. If the rulers fail to do this, then they will only be obeyed in accordance with obeying Allah and His Messenger, and their rights will be fulfilled in accordance with what Allah and His Messenger instructed, with the result that they will be supported in righteousness and piety but not in sin and transgression. [(2)]
Indeed, absolute loyalty is solely for Allah and His Messenger; it is not given to any ruler or member of his subjects, regardless of whether they are righteous or immoral. It is not considered disobedience to Allah to obey a harsh or repressive ruler in an affair that is not tantamount to disobedience to Allah and His Messenger, alongside the fact that it is prohibited to revolt against such a ruler. The liars and their ilk will not listen, even if this is repeated a billion times unless Allah wishes to guide them.

The liars stated: “Unlike other Islamist groups which often oppose totalitarian, mostly secular governments in the Middle East, the Madkhalist movement is openly supportive of such regimes. Madkhalists argue that the governments of Arab countries are not to be revolted even if they are oppressive”. [End of quote]
Response: The issue with the liars is that they don’t want Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali and the other Salafi Scholars to direct the populace in this matter in the right direction. However, the truth must be propagated since they want it to be suppressed so they can continue spreading their deception unhindered. Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Listening to and obeying the leader is an obligation upon a Muslim, whether he likes it or dislikes it, as long as he is not commanded to disobey Allah. If he is commanded to disobey, then there is no listening or obedience”. [(3)]
Because the liars do not want to listen to the Salafiyyoon when they transmit these authentic Prophetic reports, they accuse us of supporting tyranny, as if they’ve heard us say that any wrong perpetrated against citizens is lawful and should be commended. Is the above narration a forgery by the so-called Mad’khalists or an authentic Prophetic report?! Muslim governments, whether Arab or not, are not to be overthrown. However, despite the abundant evidence against revolt, the liars assert that in contrast to other Islamist groups, the Mad’khalists (i.e., so-called Mad’khalists) support tyranny.
Secondly, the Salafiyyoon do not in any way, shape, or form promote secularism. Read this: https://salaficentre.com/2022/08/12/i-consider-myself-a-secular-muslim-statement-of-damn-fools/

Tthe liars shot themselves in the foot by stating: “They hold that God has given the highest Muslim authority this right due to the 59th Quranic verse in Surah of the Women translated: “Oh those who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those who have authority amongst you”. And also due to some other prophetic traditions; anyone who rejects their view is labeled as a member of the Khawarij, a Muslim sect”. [End of quote]
This Ayah is directed at all Muslims and discusses the fact that, in agreement with what we have already established, Muslim rulers are only to be obeyed when doing so does not amount to disobedience to Allah and His Messenger, and revolt is not permitted when such rulers are oppressive.

Indeed, there is nothing to say after presenting the above proofs other than to ask Allah to guide the liars and pseudo-researchers at Wikipedia and elsewhere, or, if they persist, to disfigure their tongues for defaming the Salafi Scholars.
