[3] These people are either unaware of or concealing some realities regarding the legacy of Erudite Salafi Imam, Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Aa’isha [may Allah be pleased with her] wrote to Mu’aawiyah [may Allah be pleased with him] and said: I heard the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] say, “Whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah at the expense of the displeasure of the people, Allah will suffice him against the people. Whoever seeks the pleasure of people at the expense of Allah’s displeasure, Allah will leave his affair to the people”. [(1)]

The anonymous writers at Wikipedia stated, “Many of ibn Baz’s views and rulings are considered controversial (both inside and outside Saudi Arabia), including those relating to cosmology, women’s rights, Saudi Arabia’s support for the Oslo Accords, and the acceptability of stationing non-Muslim troops in the Land of the Two Holy Mosques (Haramayn) during and after the Persian Gulf War. Osama bin Laden bitterly condemned Ibn Baz and his rulings that supported Saudi Arabia’s foreign policy and alliances with Western powers”. [End of quote]

First, every dispute or disagreement must be referred back to the Qur’an and the Sunnah for final judgment. Allah [The Exalted] says:

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا

O you who have believed, obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and those in authority over you. And if you disagree among yourselves over anything then refer it back to Allāh and the Messenger if you truly believe in Allāh and the Last Day. That is better (conduct) and (leads to) the most excellent outcome. [(2)]

Allah [The Exalted] says:

وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِيهِ مِن شَىْءٍ فَحُكْمُهُۥٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ

And in whatsoever you differ, the decision thereof is with Allah (He is the ruling Judge). (And say O Muhammad) Such is Allah, my Lord in Whom I put my trust, and to Him I turn in all of my affairs and in repentance. [Surah Ash-Shuraa. Ayah 10]

It is useless to merely note that an affair has generated controversy without offering reliable, knowledge-based evidence that gives one an insight into the affair. Therefore, we’ll examine the affairs they claim were a controversial stance held by Imam Abdul Azeez. The first issue is that the Imaam issued a fatwa that allowed non-Muslim troops to be stationed temporarily in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War, and his decision was based on sound knowledge, notwithstanding Usamah Bin Ladin and his ilk among the Kharijites’ ranting and raving. Therefore, must read the article by Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] titled “Ibn Baaz Allowed The American Military Into Saudi Arabia?” https://abukhadeejah.com/ibn-baaz-allowed-the-american-military-into-saudi-arabia/

There is no need to elaborate on Usama Bin Ladin’s affair; rather, we will suffice with the clarification provided below by Shaikh Abu Iyaad and Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve them].

“The Reality of Usama Bin Ladin”

Indeed, Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz and his brothers, who were upright Salafi Scholars, did not seek the approval of anyone; instead, they derived rulings from the Qur’an and the Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah, and they did not fear those who would falsely accuse others of wrongdoing.

[1] These people are either unaware of or concealing some realities regarding the legacy of Erudite Salafi Imam, Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Exalted] said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمۡ تَفَسَّحُواْ فِي ٱلۡمَجَٰلِسِ فَٱفۡسَحُواْ يَفۡسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُواْ فَٱنشُزُواْ يَرۡفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ دَرَجَٰتٖۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرٞ

O you who believe! When you are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make room. Allah will give you (ample) room (from His Mercy). And when you are told to rise up [for any obligatory matter, or for any other good deed], rise up. Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do. [Surah Al-Mujaadilah. Ayah 11]

The anonymous writers at Wikipedia stated, “Sheikh Abd al Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz (Arabic: عبد العزيز بن عبد الله بن باز, romanized: ʿAbd al ʿAzīz bin ʿAbdullāh bin Bāz, 21 November 1912 – 13 May 1999) was a Saudi Arabian Islamic scholar who served as the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia from 1993 until his death in 1999. According to French political scientist Gilles Kepel, ibn Baz was a “figurehead” whose “immense religious erudition and his reputation for intransigence” gave him prestige among the population of Saudi Arabia. He “could reinforce the Saud family’s policies through his influence with the masses of believers”. His death left the government without a comparable figure from amongst Salafi scholars to “fill his shoes”. He was a leading proponent of the Salafi school of thought”. [End of quote]

Response:

First of all, this great Imam’s [may Allah have mercy upon him] reputation was well-known not only in Saudi Arabia but also in the rest of the Muslim world. Read below:

The-Life-of-Imam-Abdul-Aziz-Ibn-Baz_PDF

There is no question that this Imam was among the greatest Salafi scholars of his time. However, instead of saying that he had a reputation for intransigence, it should be said that he was well-known for upholding the sound Aqeedah and Manhaj of the pious predecessors despite the opposition of those deviated callers who opposed him. As a result, his refusal to alter his viewpoint or behaviour was based on the clear guidance of the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah and not prejudice, blind allegiance, or illegal partisanship.

They stated: He “could reinforce the Saud family’s policies through his influence with the masses of believers”. [End of quote]

Response:

He made decisions based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah as it was understood by the Sahaabah rather than passively supporting anyone’s policies. He issued rulings in favour of virtue when the rulers asked for anything that did not conflict with the Qur’an and the Sunnah, which is why he was praised for his honesty and steadfastness. He interacted with the Saudi Royal Family in accordance with what Allah commands the rulers and the Scholars to do. Allah (The Exalted) says:

[يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ‌ۖ – O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad, and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. [Surah An-Nisaa’ Ayah 59]

The verse encompasses both scholars and those in positions of power. The scholars propagate Allah’s Shariah, teach the people, and issue rulings to the people and rulers, and the rulers implement the rulings – implement the knowledge that the scholars possess and propagate. [(1)]

They stated: His death left the government without a comparable figure from amongst Salafi scholars to “fill his shoes”. [End of quote]

Response:

There is no question that Imam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] was one of the greatest Scholars in the world during his lifetime, but his passing does not imply that the outstanding scholars of this blessed Ummah will no longer exist. The Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him] said, “Allah will raise for this Ummah at the end of every hundred years the one who will revive its religion for it”. [(2)]

“Allah will raise for this Ummah at the end of every hundred years”. That is, at the end of every hundred years, when there is little knowledge of the Shariah and the authentic Prophetic Sunnah, and when ignorance and religious innovation are rampant. “One who will revive its religion for it”. That is a scholar who is alive and well known. He will clarify the authentic Prophetic Sunnah and distinguish it from the religious innovations. knowledge will be abundant again and its adherents will be aided, and the proponents of religious innovations will be overcome and degraded. This reviver is none else but a scholar who has a sound understanding of the religious sciences that deal with acts of worship, the underlying wisdoms of the religion and the texts that deal with beliefs of the heart. [(3)]

They stated: “He was a leading proponent of the Salafi school of thought”. [End of quote]

Response:

What is a school of thought? They say that it is “a set of ideas or opinions that a group of people share about a matter”. [(3.1)] “a way of thinking”. [(3.2)] “A set of ideas or opinions which a group of people share about a matter. Also a point of view recognised as held but not necessarily accepted”. [(3.3)]

Salafiyyah is not a school of thought because it is not based on ideas or opinions, but rather on the way of Muhammad’s [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] companions, which is based on the infallible Qur’an and authentic Sunnah. Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] stated: “To be a Salafi means adhering to the Creed, Methodology and the way of life of the Salaf As-Sālih (the Pious Predecessors). The earliest Salaf were the generation of our Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and his Companions. Then after them came the three virtuous generations of believers who held fast to the Sunnah (Path) of the Prophet and his Companions. The person who understands this path correctly, follows it exactly, without introducing anything into it and nor deviating from it is a Salafi. To be a Salafi is not merely to imagine that one is upon the true path of the Salaf, but Salafism is to study the religion of the Companions and follow it — it was they who understood best the meanings and intent of the speech and actions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم)….” [(4)]

Shaikh Abu Iyaad [may Allah preserve him] said: The “Salafi Way” is not something new, invented or innovated. By definition, it is the pure Islaam which the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) held onto. When the sects foretold by the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) appeared, those who took knowledge from the Companions began to verbally express the obligation of holding onto the way of (السلف الصالح), “The Righteous Predecessors.” From such statements is the saying of Imaam al-Zuhree (d. 124H), “Adhere to the tracks of the Salaf, even if the people reject you. And beware of the opinions of men, even if they beautify it for you with speech.” Hence, Salafiyyah is not a later innovation. Salafis are the target of sectarian bias and bigotry for many factions, from them the Raafidah, Soofiyyah, Kharijites and Takfiris, the blind-followers of the madhaahib, Secularists, Modernists and many others. As such there is a lot of propaganda in the field which is unfortunately entered into what is claimed to be “objective research”. To make matters more confusing is the presence of numerous orientations falsely ascribing to Salafiyyah despite their deviations from it in their foundations and methodologies. Many of the takfiri, and Khariji groups make this false ascription. This adds another layer of confusion to anyone wanting to research and understand Salafiyyah and leads to Salafis being wrongly attributed with the iniquities of the Takfiris and Kharijites. In light of all of these realities, this website aims to provide relevant information and critical evaluation and analysis of the various views and opinions that are being scattered in books, journals, blogs, websites, audios and videos in relation to “Salafis” and “Salafiyyah”.

[5] The Clueless Critics of Erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Abu Umamah [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him[ said, “Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah has perfected Imaan”. [(1)]

The cretins at Wikipedia said, “Human Rights Watch has attributed hate speech by Saleh al-Fawzan towards Shia and rafida when he called these groups “brothers of Satan” and specifically about a faction of Shia followers as “unbelievers” who “lie about God, his prophet, and the consensus of Muslim”. Hala Al-Dosari also claims that al-Fawzan considers Islamic minority sects to be heretics”. [End of quote]

First, Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] is one of the noble Salafi Scholars of our time, and so-called “Human Rights Watch” has no authority in the Sight of Allah to judge the statements of this upright Salafi Scholar, except based on the infallible final divine revelation. Indeed, he resides in a country that permits him to pass judgment of the Shariah against anyone who contradicts the Qur’an and the Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah. Second, the Shariah legislates both love and hatred for Allah’s Sake, as the Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Whoever loves for the sake of Allah, hates for the sake of Allah, gives for the sake of Allah, and withholds for the sake of Allah has perfected Imaan”.

Third, Al-Allaamah Saalih Aala Ash-Shaikh [may Allah preserve him] said the following regarding s-called human rights, “The major powers utter this term if they want to impose something new on nations, society, and the people regardless of their countries and cultures. So, after the Second World War, they wanted to establish a new world order by way of which the major powers would be able to control all countries. At times this control is cultural, sometimes through strong opinions and the exercise of freedoms at other times, and power is exercised through interference in the affairs of the countries in which they want to interfere”. [Footnote a]

Fourth, other than what is found in these two links, there is nothing else to add to Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan’s verdict against Raafidah Shiites.

http://www.shia.bs/index.cfm
https://abukhadeejah.com/the-devils-deception-of-the-raafidah-shiah/

Finally, the cretins stated, “Hala Al-Dosari also claims that al-Fawzan considers Islamic minority sects to be heretics”. [End of quote]

It doesn’t matter who holds this view, whether this Hala or others, but rather, the methodology of the pious predecessors is to be applied with dealing with the deviated sects. Hafs Bin Humaid [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: I asked Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubaarak [may Allah have mercy upon him], “How many sects have this Ummah divided into?” He said, “The foundation of the sects are four: the shia, the harooriyyah (i.e. khawaarij), the qadariyyah, and the murji’ah”. The Shia splintered into twenty-two sects, the Harooriyyah into twenty-one sects, the Qadariyyah into sixteen sects, and the Murji’ah into thirteen sects”. [(2)]

The previous Mufti of Saudi Arabia Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked: What is the meaning of the Messenger’s [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] statement about the Ummah in the hadith, “All of them (sects) are in the fire except one” and who is that one? Will the other 72 (deviant) sects abide in the fire for all eternity?

Response: The prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The Jews split into 71 sects, meaning all of them were misguided and ruined, except one. The Christians split into 72 sects, meaning all of them were misguided and ruined, except one. And this Ummah will split into 73 sects, all of them in the fire, except one. Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah (those who firmly cling to the authentic Prophetic Sunnah and are unified upon it) are this single group – the Prophet’s companions and those who exactly follow them in faith, the adherents to sound faith and pure Islamic monotheism. Concerning the other 72 (deviants) sects that have been threatened with (entry into) the fire, among them is one who is a disbeliever [Footnote b], one who is a sinner, and one about whom it has been proved with clear evidence that he is an innovator in religion (Mubtadi). So, among them, the one who dies in a state of unbelief [Footnote c] will be in the fire for eternity, while the one who dies in a state of devotion to religious innovation that is less than major disbelief [Footnote d] or sins is under Allah’s will, while still threatened with the fire. So, based on this, it is known that not all of them are disbelievers, but rather among them is a disbeliever, while the others are sinners and innovators in religion. [(3)]

Footnote d: All religious innovations are evil, but there are those tat will exit a person from the fold of Islam (Bida’atul Mukaffirah) and those that do not exit a person from the fold of Islam (Bida’atul Mufassiqah).

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee [may Allaah preserve him] was asked whether there is a difference between Bidah Al-Mukaffirah and Bidah Al-Mufassiqah; so he replied that there is Bidah Mukaffirah, such as rejecting the Ruyah (i.e. denying that the believers will see Allah in the afterlife); rejecting Allaah’s Uluww [i.e. denying that Allaah is above his creation –Allah ascended over the Throne in a way that benefits his majesty)]; invoking other than Allah; offering slaughtered sacrifice (i.e. animals) to other than Allah etc. These are affairs of Bidah Al-Mukaffirah (the bidah that is tantamount to disbelief). But we do not make Takfeer of the people who commit this type of Bidah until we establish the proof against them. That is because some of them (i.e. the people who fall into these affairs) carry doubts and are far away from the era of Prophethood and its light (i.e. guidance). So they fall into the likes of these Bidah. Rejecting the Ruyah is disbelief; rejecting Allaah’s Uluww is disbelief; the saying that the Qur’an is created is disbelief-major disbelief. But this person, -[who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah, and he prays, observes fasting, wants paradise and believes in that] -received the doubts of the people of falsehood, so he falls into the likes of these affairs (i.e. these innovations that are tantamount to disbelief). So we say to him: You have fallen into disbelief and the evidence is this and this, and we clarify for him. So if Allaah grants him Tawfeeq and he returns to the truth, then all praise is due to Allaah. But if not, we declare him a disbeliever after establishing the proofs against him. As for Bidah Al-Mufassiqah, it is other than this (i.e. it is not at the level of that which is tantamount to disbelief)… [A paraphrased excerpt. http://www.rabee.net/ar/questions.php?cat=26&id=484 ]

May Allah guide these enemies of Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan or protect us from their Falsehoods. Please refer to this document if the cretins try to change the text on Wikpedia that this series is based on.

[4] The Clueless Critics of Erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah [The Most High] says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنْ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ

O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins.

[Surah Al-Hujuraat. Aayah 12]

Imam As-Sadi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said:

Allah [The Most High] has forbidden much evil suspicion towards the believers because some suspicions are sins. And that is like the suspicion devoid of reality and factual evidence, and like the suspicion accompanied by much-forbidden speech and action, for indeed the settlement of evil suspicion in the heart does not restrict the one (in whose heart is that evil suspicion) only to that; rather, he does not cease until he utters and does that which is not permissible. [(1)]

The cretins at Wikipedia stated: “Feminism activist Hala Al-Dosari (fellow of Radcliff Institute at Harvard) and Abdullah Alaoudh (senior fellow of Georgetown University and son of Salman al-Awdah) claim Saleh al-Fawzan is treated like a father figure by Mohammed Bin Salman. A month before the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, al-Fawzan proclaimed a threatening fatwa calling for the killing of critics of the Saudi government”. [End of quote]

Response:

Tthe orientation of this (fellow of Radcliff Institute at Harvard) speaks for itself, so, other than the information on the link, there is no need for any further comment. Link:

As for the second individual, Abdullah Alaoudh, if he is the son of the Qutbi Salman al-Awdah (Footnote a) as the cretins claim, it is not strange for a person to follow in his father’s footsteps, as the saying goes مَنْ شَابَهَ أبَاهُ فَما ظَلَمَ

Second, Saudi rulers have always recognised and honoured Salafi Scholars within and outside the Kingdon. Unlike the irresponsible activists, Qutubists, Ikhwaanees, and others, (Footnote b) the upright Salafi Scholars – past and present – advise rulers and consistently prioritise the safety and security of Muslim nations. Read below:

Believer’s Bahaviour Towards Muslim Rulers – [Supplicates For Them….]

The cretins stated, “A month before the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, al-Fawzan proclaimed a threatening fatwa calling for the killing of critics of the Saudi government”. [End of quote]

Response: No Salafi Scholar, including Al-Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan, would issue a Fatwa authorising the execution of any person residing in a Muslim country unless the crime was punishable by death under the infallible Shariah law. However, the cretins have not provided the exact date that the fatwa was issued, its text and signatories so that we can ascertain against whom it was specifically issued if it does exist in the first place! Indeed, the burden of proof is upon the cretins at Wikipedia. Furthermore, the investigation into Jamal Khashoggi’s [may Allah have mercy on him] death was conducted solely through the Saudi Justice System, rather than through the speculations of the media’s ideologues, demagogues, and rabble-rousers who utilised this affair to promote their ideologies of excessive free speech while also seeking to destabilise Saudi Arabia. Fourth, by stating without any proof that Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan issued a Fatwa advocating the killing of Saudi critics and then mentioning the death of Jamaal Khashoggi, the writers are discreetly or indirectly attempting to persuade unsuspecting readers to form their own opinions about a so-called connection between a Fatwa and its consequences a month later!

Therefore, their first goal is to damage the reputation of this noble and pious Salafi Scholar. Shaikh Abu Khadeejah [may Allah preserve him] stated: Abul-Qāsim Ibn ʿAsākir (d. 571H, rahimahullāh) said: “Know, my brother – may Allah guide us and you to His pleasure, and that He makes us from those who fear Him and are dutiful to Him as He deserves – that the flesh of the scholars, may Allah be merciful with them, is poison. And Allah’s established way of tearing down the screen of those who attack the scholars is well-known. That is because attacking them for an affair that they are innocent of is a mighty thing – and to speak of their honour with falsehood and fabrications is an evil and noxious pasture to graze upon!” [(2)]

As for their greatest goal goal and greatest desire, it is to destabilise Saudi Arabia by all means necessary, as Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] once stated: “This country -and all praise be to Allaah-is in a state of security, stability, comfortable living, and tranquillity, but this stability is not pleasing to the enemies of this country. So they have not ceased attempting to demolish its state of security. They attempt to do this so that it becomes like other countries. This country occupies the centre of the hearts of the Muslims, it is the Qiblah in their Salaah and occupies a status in the Islamic world. So, if it were to be destabilised—just as the enemies desire to destabilise the entire Islamic world, then who will establish the Hajj and Umrah and provide safety for the pilgrims whilst they seek to fulfill the rites of Hajj and Umrah, except this country with the Help of Allah [Glorified and Exalted be He]. The (social) structure of this country will be destabilised if its security is lost, then where will the Islamic world proceed to? Because of this, the enemies of Islam plot against this nation day and night, as you are all aware. Sometimes they do this by attempting to sow doubts about the (sound Islamic) creed and spreading immoral views among Muslim children in order to encourage idleness, extremism, or taking up arms or carrying explosives or wreaking havoc. Other times they do this by corrupting manners and encouraging forbidden things and desires among Muslim youth, in order to corrupt their manners and deprive them of their religion with the claim of freedom of expression and other false statements. Allah has freed mankind from idol worship, forbidden desires, and despicable manners. This is the correct freedom, but as for what is in opposition to it, such as evil desires, doubts, and corrupt manners, this is the freedom of animals. However, they want this in order to corrupt the Muslim youth either through extremism and harshness or negligence. They attempt this and that, either to corrupt the intellects of the Muslim youth with intoxicants, drugs, cigarettes, Qaat, and other drugs and intoxicants or through fabrications (i.e. false ideas, views, etc.). They want to do away with the Muslim youth because, after Allaah’s [Glorified be He] support for the Muslim society, the society is built upon its youth, therefore they want to corrupt the Muslim youth through any means so that they are able to demolish this country. As you can see –from time to time–huge quantities of opium and other types of drugs are smuggled. As you can see this did not come from nothing; rather it came about as an evil plan against this country. They want to destroy it from every direction. Therefore, you should all be one entity with your rulers and those placed in charge of your affairs to repel this enmity and pay attention to it”. [(3)] [End of quote]

The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets. The Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, rather they left behind a heritage of knowledge, and the one who acquires it acquires an abundant portion”. [At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The writers at Wikipedia stated under the title Controversial statements: “Saleh al-Fawzan was given attention in Western media again in May 2016 after he declared taking photos prohibited in a video published by the Middle East Media Research Institute on April 17, 2016. According to The Independent, “Speaking in a televised broadcast, Sheikh Saleh Bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan was asked about a new trend of taking pictures with cats which has been spreading among people who want to be like the Westerners. The Sheikh initially appears incredulous, asking: “What?! What do you mean pictures with cats?” He then declares: “Taking pictures is prohibited. The cats don’t matter here.” When asked again about the “new trend”, he says: “Explain this trend to me. Taking pictures is prohibited if not for a necessity – not with cats, not with dogs, not with wolves, not with anything.” [End of quote]

We remind these writers that the upright Salafi Scholars do not appease those who disagree with their judgements by flattering them or going along with the crowd. This photography issue is not to be regarded as controversial; rather, it should be assessed in light of the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah. Indeed, it only causes controversy for individuals who either do not want to hear what they dislike hearing or who believe that the Shariah’s rulings have no place in so-called contemporary cultures or modern societies. The subject matter is applicable to all people, not just those living in the West because its ruling is revealed in the infallible final divine revelation. The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah will be the picture makers.” [Sahih Al-Bukhari 5950]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked, “How do we reconcile between the statement of the Prophet ‘The people who will receive the severest punishment from Allah will be the picture makers’ and the fact that the Mushrikoon will receive the greatest punishment on the day of judgement?”. He replied, “The severest punishment here means the severest punishment received by the sinners whose sins have not reached disbelief. As for the severest punishment received by the Mushrikoon, their punishment will be the severest among all the people”. [(1)]

Therefore, the ruling on pictures is an established affair in the pure Shariah and Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan fulfilled his duty by giving a verdict on the subject matter. Anyone who considers this a matter of controversy is either ignorant or driven by their own desires. We ask Allah to protect the righteous Salafi Scholars from the statements of the ignorant. Aameen.

[2] The Clueless Critics of Erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

“Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets because the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham as inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share”.
[Sahih Abu Dawud 3641]

The writers at Wikipedia stated: In March 2014, Al-Fawzan denied that he issued a fatwa banning ‘all you can eat’ open buffets, claiming he only said that open buffets should identify the quantity so that people don’t end up buying the “unknown”. [End of quote]

Indeed, the language employed above in relation to this subject matter appears to imply that Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] is disputing something he previously stated and then stating something else! However, a detailed examination of his first and second pronouncements reveals that there is no contradiction or denial on his behalf, nor is he making empty claims.

First and foremost, what is a buffet? They say it is “a meal where people serve themselves different types of food”. “A meal set out on a buffet or table for ready access and informal service”. “A variety of dishes presented in a line, from which diners in a restaurant serve themselves, usually at a fixed price regardless of how much one eats”. “A buffet is a meal of cold food that is displayed on a long table at a party or public occasion. Guests usually serve themselves from the table”. “A meal for which different foods are placed on a table so that people can serve themselves”. “A meal at which people serve themselves from a table and then stand or sit somewhere else to eat”.

According to the preceding definitions, a buffet is a meal or selection of foods from which customers serve themselves, and the question presented to Al-Allaamah Saalih al-Fawzaan was not whether buffets are allowed! Rather, the question concerned a specific type of business transaction related to buffets, which is that some restaurants offer open buffets, in which customers pay a set amount of money and then eat anything they want, regardless of whether they consume more or less than the set amount of money. So, Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan responded by saying that this is not permissible because there is uncertainty and speculation in this type of transaction (i.e. a Gharar). Listen here:

In this first Fatwa, it is abundantly obvious that Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] was responding explicitly to the description of a certain type of transaction relating to buffets, rather than buffets in and of themselves.

Then, on another occasion, he was asked if he had issued a Fatwa against open Buffets! So he responded that this was a lie; rather, he was asked about a buffet where a person – for example – is charged 50 riyals and then told to eat whatever he wants, and this type of transaction is Majhool (i.e. a transaction in which what the seller sells and what the buyer receives is speculative, ambiguous, or unknown), whereas buying and selling is to be based on clarity. Listen here:

Therefore, no contradiction, controversy, denial of facts, or baseless assertions can be attributed to Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan in this matter. Rather, it is quite evident that the verdicts focused on the distinction between buffets in and of themselves and buffets accompanied by the type of transaction that would be tantamount to conjecture, uncertainty, or ambiguity. When the buffet with an ambiguous transaction was described to him, he gave the verdict it deserved because the upright scholars do not flatter anyone or go along with the desires of the people, but rather pass verdicts based on the knowledge Allah has bestowed on them with piety and honesty.

There is no contradiction between his first and second declarations since the first forbids a particular type of transaction that is connected to a buffet, and the second necessitates that no prohibition was mentioned against buffets that do not involve this type of transaction. Neither did he issue an erroneous verdict against the transaction that was described to him nor is there a contradictory denial or claim in what he said from the beginning to the end of this affair. We ask Allah to protect our Salafi Scholars from the tongues of the ignoramuses Aameen. Finally, Shaikh Abu Khadeejah provided the following brief comment regarding this topic at the following link:

To be continued InShaaAllah

[1] The Clueless Critics of Erudite Salafi Scholar Al-Allaamah Salih Al-Fawzaan

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Abu Ad-Dardaa [may Allah be pleased with him] reported: I heard Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] say, “Whoever treads a path due to which he seeks knowledge, Allah will make him tread one of the paths towards Paradise. And the angels lower their wings out of contentment for the seeker of knowledge. And verily all those in the heavens and in the earth, even the fish in the depths of the sea ask forgiveness for the scholar. And verily, the virtue of the scholar over the worshipper is like the virtue of the full moon (of the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the month) over all of the stars. Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets because the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham as inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share”. (1)

The Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He takes it away by the death of the (upright) religious scholars till none of the scholars remains alive. Then the people will take ignorant ones as their leaders, who, when asked to deliver religious verdicts, will issue them without knowledge, the result being that they will go astray and will lead others astray”. (2)

Al-Haafidh Al-Qurtubiy [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated in Al-Mufhim, “This text (demonstrates) that the disappearance of knowledge will occur not through its removal from the hearts of the people, but rather through the death of the scholars, (then) the ignoramuses will remain- those who will take the place of the scholars in the (field) of judgment and teaching. They will teach and pass judgment based on their ignorance, causing ignorance to spread and become evident”. So, if the authentic Sunni knowledge is taken away, acting on it is also taken away, isn’t it?! When ignorance manifests, acting upon it becomes manifest; so, both knowledge and acting upon (Knowledge) will disappear, ignorance will manifest, and acting upon (ignorance) will become prevalent, as Al-Haafidh Al-Qurtubi [may Allah have mercy upon him] clarified in Al-Mufhim”. (3)

The preceding statements clearly demonstrates the virtue of Islam’s upright scholars, and there is no doubt that Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] is one of the Ummah’s senior scholars.

In the section on Wikipedia titled “Controversial Statements”, the writer or writers wrote: Al-Fawzan’s views on slavery—given in lectures recorded on cassette—came to light and caused some controversy in 2003. In the tape, he was quoted as saying, “Slavery is a part of Islam (in war context) … Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam.” As for the modernist interpretation that Islam totally abolished slavery, he dismissed its exponents saying, “They are ignorant, not scholars. … Whoever says such things is an infidel. [End of quote]

First and foremost, what is controversy? They say it means “a lot of disagreement or argument about something, usually because it affects or is important to many people”. “a disagreement, often a public one, that involves different ideas or opinions about something”. (4) “a discussion marked especially by the expression of opposing views”. (5) “a lot of discussion and argument about something, often involving strong feelings of anger or disapproval”. (6)

After we understand what a controversy is, we should remember that Allah has commanded us – during every dispute – to refer back to the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah as understood by the Sahaabah.

فَلَا وَرَبِّكَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ حَتَّىٰ يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُواْ فِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ حَرَجً۬ا مِّمَّا قَضَيۡتَ وَيُسَلِّمُواْ تَسۡلِيمً۬ا

But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept (them) with full submission. [Surah An-Nisaa. Ayah 65]

We now provide you Shaikh Abu Khadeejah’s (may Allah preserve him) clear explanation of slavery in Islam:

https://abukhadeejah.com/you-have-appointed-a-free-slave-over-them-a-slave-was-placed-in-charge-of-makkah-in-the-time-of-umar/

What is explained in the above links has nothing to do with the satanic doctrines of the Takfeeris (ISIS, Boko Haram, and other groups). These groups do not have any authority in Islam to wage war or sign peace treaties. Second, a Muslim can never be held as a slave, and neither can a non-Muslim whose nation has ratified a peace agreement with a Muslim government. Read on to learn more:

[22] 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.

Imam Muhammad Ibn Sireen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Indeed, this knowledge is religion, so carefully consider from whom you take your religion (i.e. from whom you learn it)”. [Saheeh Muslim. Number 26]

The researchers who have endeavoured to discredit Salafiyyah by relying on the fictitious presence of a group named Mad’khlaist on Wikipedia have failed to meet the essential criteria for establishing their credibility. Their actual identities remain unknown, rendering them invisible and preventing any assessment of their religious affiliation, be it misguided Muslims, non-Muslims, or individuals notorious for uttering statements that are tantamount to Kufr Akbar or Nifaaq. Driven by an overwhelming fear of being held accountable, they have chosen the path of anonymity, much like others who were too fearful to confront the Scholars of Ahlus Sunnah and their upright students. Imam Naasiruddeen Al-Albaanee [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated regarding an individual who concealed his identity while attempting to criticise without providing any evidence: “And it has become certain to me that he began to circulate his books, in the end, after his reality was uncovered, and his affair exposed, under the pen name Abu Suhaib Al-Karamee! Going to extremes in trickery, deception, and drowning in misguidance!! Rather after that, he circulated books with his introductions and checkings without any name or Kunyah!!” [(1)]

The Imam also stated regarding another person who hid behind a false identity: “He is none other than Habeebur-Rahman Al-Athamee, the one who hid behind the false identity (Arshad As-Salafee) because of his cowardice, and his lack of scholarly and literary courage”. [(2)]

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] said, “By Allah, no one hides his real name except an evil person. Astaghfirullah! Astaghfirullah! Why are you hiding your real name?! If you have the truth with you then announce your name; if you have falsehood with you then fear Allah! Don’t speak! There is no reason to hide your real name, no reason whatsoever, this is something unknown to the Salaf [pious predecessors]”. [(3)]

Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillah al-Jaabiri [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: After looking into the benefits of posting with one’s real name, the following things come to mind at first glance:

[a]: One will take his time, contemplate, and think deeply before posting. [b] We will know the level of the writer’s knowledge and manhaj. [c] There will be no hastiness or unnecessary rush in spreading things before confirming them and referring them to the people of knowledge. [d] Writing under one’s real name will bring about a sense of responsibility and accountability for what is being written. [e] It will reduce excessive writing and spreading (of things devoid of benefit). [f] It will restrict the writing and the offering of advice to the people of knowledge and their students, and not just every Tom, Dick, and Harry will post. [g] It will put forth the people of knowledge and make clear their true position, their true rights, and authority with regard to guidance, education, and criticism. [h] It will allow the Salafee manhaj to be seen in its beautiful form and complete shape, by way of knowing the narrators and their situations and personalities. [i] We will be able to apply the Shariah ruling on those who are in opposition (to the truth), those who stubbornly resist (the correct path), and the liars. We will be able to confirm and verify reports if we know the individuals, but this ability will vanish or dwindle so long as we do not know them, or they are anonymous. [j] There will be an increase in beneficial posts with knowledge, clarifying the manhaj, and weak posts or those devoid of benefit will decrease. [k] We will nobly remove ourselves from the ways of the biased partisans and proponents of secret movements and organizations, and we will oppose their stealth, their hiding behind nicknames or kunyahs when their attributes and poisons become known. [l] We will spread clarity and truthfulness, two attributes that are from the foremost attributes of the Salafee Manhaj. [(4)]

If the individuals who engaged in pseudo-research, deceit, and dishonesty at Wikipedia decide to alter the content of the posts that is the subject of this series, we have made available the document in the following link madkhalism1.0

In the forthcoming blog entries, we will examine the misguided criticisms directed at Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan by some individuals. We ask Allah to guide these liars or break their backs Aameen.

[21] 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.

Samurah Ibn Jundub [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “I saw a dream at night in which two men came to me. They said, ‘The one whose face you saw being torn away was a liar, who would tell a lie that would be carried away until it reached the whole world. So, he will be punished like this until the Day of Resurrection”. [Saheeh al-Bukhari 6096]

The deceivers stated, “The person of the movement’s leader, Rabee al-Madkhali, also carries a heavy focus uncharacteristic of rival movements such as Qutbism”. [End of quote]

Response:

To begin with, Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali is not the leader of any movement, much less one that goes by the name of Mad’khalism. As for the view of the cretins that Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali has a heavy focus, which is unusual for rival movements like Qutubism, this is a compliment that the cretins unknowingly made because what the misguided Qutubists innovated in the religion is the exact opposite of the clear direction in the Qur’an and the Sunnah followed by Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon. In addition, the Salafiyyoon are Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah, whilst the Qutubists are a group among Ahlul Bidah. Furthermore, Qutubism isn’t just an opponent of Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi al-Mad’khali; rather, it’s an opposition to the Qur’an and the Sunnah as comprehended and practiced by the companions. Read below:

http://www.themadkhalis.com/md/series/bayan-talbis-al-qutbiyyah—explanation-of-the-deception-of-the-qutbiyyah.cfm
http://www.sayyidqutb.com/

The cretins stated: “Madkhalists have been described as obsessed with defence of the movement’s leader by the Muslim Brotherhood who accuse them of often dramatising or exaggerating praise given by Salafist scholars and attempting to stifle or intimidate Salafists with opposing views to those of Mad’khali and Madkhalists”. [End of quote]

Response

Once again it should be noted that there is no such thing as a Madkhalist group or movement, much less a leader for it. We challenge both the Muslim Brotherhood Sect [(Footnote a)] and the cretins at Wikipedia to provide just one instance where Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali was supported against critics on the basis of rejecting truth and supporting falsehood. Indeed, even though the deviated Muslim Brotherhood Sect despises it, the acclaim Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali earned from other upright senior scholars does not require dramatisation because the remarks speak for themselves. We’ll suffice with one on this link: https://abukhadeejah.com/ibn-uthaymeen-rabee-salafi/

As for the claim of the cretins that the Mad’khalists (i.e. so-called Mad’khalists) stifle or intimidate Salafists with opposing views to those of Ma’khali and Mad’khalists, we challenge the compulsive liars to cite a single example where Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi was given clear evidence regarding an affair of the religion, but he hid behind the praise given to him by other Salafi scholars to reject the truth. Indeed, the Salafi scholars refute various groups, sects and individuals due to their deviations in Aqeedah or Manhaj, and among these deviated individuals are Salman, Safar, Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul Khaaliq, Ali Al-Halabi, Al-Maghrawi, Al-Maribi, Al-Hajuri and their ilk- those who innovated principles and propagated their bidah, then the clear proofs were established against them. Therefore, let us hope that these are not the folks and their ilk that the cretins refer to as “the other Salafists.” [(Footnote b)] Read below:

https://abukhadeejah.com/shaikh-rabee-establishment-of-proof-in-declaring-a-person-to-be-an-innovator/

However, there are those whose mistakes are rebutted and they are boycotted only due to their harm, such as the likes of Dr Muhammad bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali and his ilk. [(Footnote c)]

The cretins stated: “A common mantra promoted by Madkhali is that questioning the movement’s clerics is forbidden as a general rule, and only allowed in cases of necessity”. [End of quote]

Response

Once again there is no such thing as Mad’khalism, nor is it led by someone named Al-Mad’khali. Second, let the cretins produce either a text or a remark that clearly demonstrates that Al-Allaamah made it a rule that he is not to be questioned, whether necessary or not. “And (with regard to) the person with the proofs, it is obligatory to take his speech (on the basis) of following Allaah’s Legislation and Proofs, and not (due to) the personality of that person,” said this noble senior Scholar. [(1)]

He also stated, “The seeker of truth is not diverted from the truth, fairness, and justice due to admiration of the big personalities and being amazed by them, for indeed the truth is more worthy to be followed. It is not permissible to drop the proofs for the sake of this or that great man. The principle [rule] of the Muslim – the unbiased one, the seeker of truth – is always:

[قُلْ هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ -Say, bring forth your proofs if you are truthful]. [Surah An-Nahl. Verse 64] [(2)]

[20] 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.

Imaam Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Naasir As-Sadi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “It is well known that Allah does not love ignorance, doubts, confusion, or misguidance; rather, He loves the religion He has ordained, knowledge, and certainty. Indeed, we have been commanded to ask Allah [The Exalted] to guide us to the straight path, which entails knowledge of the truth and acting on it, and the Qur’an is the cure, guidance, and light. The Muslims agree that doubt and confusion are unpraiseworthy, and it is expected – absolutely- that a person who does not possess knowledge of something is obligated to keep quiet and seek knowledge via its (sound) sources”. [(1)]

The ignoramuses stated: “The polemics of the Madkhalists are markedly different from other Salafist groups as well. A noted feature of Madkhalism during Muslim dogmatic exchanges is clarifying the opponent sect instead of only discourse regarding the topic of discussion”. [End of quote]

Response: First of all, as we have already mentioned, there is no such thing as a Madkhalist group within Salafiyyah, not to mention the presence of other Salafi groups within Salafiyyah.

Read: http://www.salafis.com/index.cfm

https://abukhadeejah.com/a-response-to-western-academics-who-categorise-salafis-into-quietists-politicos-and-jihadists-and-why-this-is-a-false-categorisation/

Second, Salafi Scholars, including Al Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali, do not write or speak to contradict others for personal motives; rather, their writings and speeches are intended to establish truth and refute falsehood, so that no one stands in the way of truth. Ibn Aqeel [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “If the truthful ones remained silent and the falsifiers spoke, the creation (humankind and Jinn) would abandon what they have witnessed (of truth) and reject what they have not witnessed. As a result, when the devout desire to revive the Sunnah, the people reject it and think that it is bidah”. [(2)]

Third, the ignoramuses stated that a noted feature of Madkhalism (i.e. so-called Mad’khalism) during Muslim dogmatic exchanges is clarifying the opponent sect instead of only discourse regarding the topic of discussion! Indeed, this statement demonstrates the cretins’ incompetence once more, because the discussion of sects and parties is always centered on refuting false beliefs and methodologies, as well as identifying specific characteristics of the deviant sects. The fact that in such discussions, not only are the topics discussed, but also sometimes the sect itself and how to deal with it, is found in the Prophet’s [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] statement, “ “The Qadariyyah are the Magians of this community. If they are ill, do not pay a sick visit to them, and if they die, do not attend their funerals”. [(3)] [See Footnote a] Also Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said, “The thing I fear most for my Ummah are the leaders of misguidance”. [(4)]

Imaam Al-Barbahaaree [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: “Imaam Barbahaaree [may Allah have mercy upon him] said, “Know that leaving the correct path occurs in two ways. Firstly, a man strays from the correct path intending nothing but good, so his error is not to be followed since it leads to destruction. Secondly, a man who deliberately opposes the truth and acts contrary to the Pious ones who came before him, he is astray, leading others astray, a rebellious devil within the Ummah. It is a duty upon those who know of him to warn the people against him and to explain his condition to them so that no one falls into his innovation and is destroyed”. Continue reading below:

Leaving The Correct Path Occurs In Two Ways

The situation is as apparent as the midday sun, yet owing to ignorance, the these pseudo researchers at Wikipedia have rushed to blame the so-called Mad’khalists that “a noted feature of Madkhalism during Muslim dogmatic exchanges is clarifying the opponent sect instead of only discourse regarding the topic of discussion”, despite the fact that the  cited Prophetic narrations demonstrate that wrong beliefs, the deviant sects, and their leaders must be identified and refuted.
