Is Merely Claiming Salafiyyah Sufficient?
🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

Question asked to Shaykh Ahmad An-Najmi رحمه الله

💠Question no. 76: س ٧٦

There are some (people) who claim that they are Salafi and they say: ” We are Salafi, but we don’t speak about those who make mistakes and don’t make criticism on anyone!”

💠Answer no. 76: ج٧٦

🗣Say to them that Salafiyyah isn’t correct without making criticism on anyone. So love and hating for Allaah, and showing loyalty and enmity is for Allaah, If the person abandons these 4 then his Islaam is weak.

The Messenger (may the Salah and salaam be upon him) said: “whom ever from amongst you sees an evil therefore let him change it with his hand, and if he isn’t able to do that therefore with his tongue, and if he isn’t able to do that, therefore in his heart an that is the weakest of imaan.” (Recorded by Muslim)

The weakest of imaan hating falsehood in your heart, but the one in which doesn’t hate the falsehood in his heart then where is the imaan that in which is in his heart?!!! Meaning his imaan is weak and doesn’t benefit him.

It is reported that Abû Al-Dardâ – Allâh be pleased with him – said:

You will never be pious (a person of taqwâ) until you become knowledgeable, and you will never be beautiful with your knowledge until you act [by it].

Ibn Ábd Al-Barr, Jâmi’ Bayân Al-’Ilm wa Fadlihî article 1239.

Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah [رحمه الله] said:
“Sadness and depression will be relieved when the slaves realize they have neither the power to avoid what has befallen them, nor to bring about what was not destined for them.”

[Prophetic Medicine p.236]

Some rulings regarding women:

(a) It is permissible for a woman to remove body hair, except the hair on her head and her eyebrows, as it is NOT permissible for her to remove this hair or any part of them. She should remove the hair by herself, or with the help of her husband, one of her Mahrams (spouse or unmarriageable relatives), or a woman, from the parts of her body that are permitted to be seen.

(b) It is permissible for women to wear all types of gold jewelry. Shaykh Isma‘il Al-Ansary has written a research paper on this issue, to which you may refer.

(c) It is permissible for a woman to wear make-up in front of her husband to beautify herself for him and to appear in it in front of her Mahrams.

(d) It is NOT permissible for a woman to wear PANTS, as in doing so she is imitating men.

(e) It is NOT permissible for a woman to uncover her hair in front of men, who are not her Mahrams, but it is permissible for her to uncover it in front of other women in general, and it is permissible for her to wear gloves.

May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.

Precious Gem : Shaytan has three ways of tempting man – Imam Ibn al-Qayyim
A Precious Gem: The Satanic Ways of Tempting

Satan has three ways of tempting man:

One: Increase and extravagance; to have more than one needs. This addition is the way, which Satan uses to enter the heart. To protect oneself from that is to be careful not to fulfill all the needs of the soul like food, sleep, pleasure, or rest. Whenever you close this door, you would be safe from any enemy.

Two: Negligence; whoever remembers Allah is protected by the fortress of remembering Him. When he neglects that he will be opening the door of this fortress and the enemy will enter. It would then be difficult to drive him out.

Three: Caring for what is not his business in all matters of life.

Shaykh Saalih ibn Fowzaan al-Fowzaan

Question:What is the ruling of an individual who loves a scholar or a Da'ee and says: I love him very much, I do not want to listen to anyone refuting him and I take his word even if it goes against the evidence, because the shaykh has more knowledge of the evidence than us?

Answer:This is detestable and blameworthy partisanship and it is not allowed. We love the scholars-and all praise is to Allaah-and we love the Du'aat (callers) for the sake of Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic. However if one from amongst them makes an error in an issue, we make clear the truth in that issue with the evidence and this does not decrease our love for the one who is refuted nor does it decrease his status. Imaam Maalik-rahimahullaah- said: "There is no one from amongst us except that he will refute or be refuted, except the companion of this grave." Meaning the Messenger of Allaah SAllaahu Alihee Wasallam.

If we refute some of the people of knowledge and some of the people of virtue, this does not mean that we hate him or dispraise him, we only make clear what is correct and for this reason some of the scholars, when some of their colleagues made an error, said: "So and so is beloved to us, however the truth is more beloved to us than him. " And this is the correct way.

Do not understand from this that to refute some of the scholars in an issue where they have erred in, means lowering them or having hatred for them. Rather the scholars have not ceased refuting each other and at the same time being brothers and having mutual love. It is not allowed for us to take everything that an individual says unquestionably, whether he is correct or in error, because this is partisanship.

The one whose statement is taken absolutely and nothing from it is left, is the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu Alaihi Wasallam. Because he is a Messenger from his Lord and does not speak from his desires. As for other than them (messengers), then sometimes they make errors and sometimes they are correct, even though they may be from the best of the people, they are Mujtahidoon that make mistakes at times and are correct at others. No one is infallible from falling into error except the Messenger of Allaah Sallaahu Alihee Wasallam. It is therefore Waajib that we know this and that we do not remain silent upon error, due to love of an individual. Rather it is upon us that we make the error clear. The Prophet Sallaahu ýAlihee Wasallam said: "The religion is sincere advice. We said: To whom. He said: To Allaah, His book, His messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and their general people."

So clarification of an error is advice for all, as for concealing it, then this goes against advice.

Just Learn your Religion and Do Not Burden yourself with Fiqh al-Waaqi’ (science of the current affairs) and Political agitations

"Until when will we say: 'Know, may Allaah have mercy upon you'?"

ash-Shaykh al-'Allaamah Muhammad Amaan bin 'Alee al-Jaamee states:

A student of knowledge asks how he should seek knowledge, how he should study the books he's studying and how he should stick to the scholars.

In short:

Sadly, the small students of knowledge in this time busy themselves with siyaasah (politics) while they don't know the meaning of siyaasah. It is often the case that students come to my house when I arrive here, in ar-Riyaad and in al-Kharj. I was expecting them to ask me questions related to knowledge, but instead they ask me about the agitations, the jamaa'aat (groups) and the ideologies. They busy themselves [with this].

Whoever wants to seek knowledge should turn himself completely away from the traces of [political] agitation and he should begin with memorizing the small books. He should begin with al-Usool ath-Thalaathah (the Three Fundamentals) and not pay any attention to the statement of the agitating troublemakers who say, "Until when will we say: 'Know, may Allaah have mercy upon you'? Until when?"

Until you die, you will say these words! And when you die you will be asked in your grave about that which you used to ridicule: "Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?" You ridicule this in your life, while you will be asked in your grave about that which you used to ridicule. The first thing you will be asked about, is the meaning of al-Usool ath-Thalaathah.

Don't pay any attention to this harmful agitation! Memorize this small book which contains Tawheed, the rulings and the actualisation of the statement of Tawheed. Nawaaqid al-Islaam (the Nullifiers of Islaam) and al-Qawaa'id al-Arba' (the Four Principles): memorize these like the memorisation of al-Faatihah. Then go to the students of knowledge so that they can explain it to you and so that you understand it.

I am sure that a student of knowledge who understands al-Usool ath-Thalaathah; if he was sent as a daa'iyah (caller) to a non-Arabic country, he would become [like] ibn Taymiyyah there (in the eyes of the people). With al-Usool ath-Thalaathah! And this is something which has been noticed before. If you have memorized this text and understood it, and you stand there between the Africans and Asians explaining al-Usool ath-Thalaathah to them, then you will be [like] ibn Taymiyyah there. But, all praise is due to Allaah, their children there are memorizing it, but they need someone to explain it to them. Don't let them lead you to destruction! Don't let those, who don't [sincerely] advise, lead you to destruction!

Memorize these books: Kitaab at-Tawheed, al-Bayqooniyyah, al-Arba'een an-Nawawiyyah. These books! You busy yourselves here [with other things], while the children of the Muslims in India, Pakistan and Africa are memorizing these books. With these two ears of me I listened to African youth while they were memorizing al-Usool ath-Thalaathah, Kashf ash-Shubuhaat, Kitaab at-Tawheed and al-Arba'een an-Nawawiyyah. I stood there in the classroom listening to them while they were memorizing [these texts] like the memorisation of al-Faatihah.

This is because the [political] agitation has not reached that place; they are upon al-Fitrah (natural disposition). We ask Allaah to protect them from that which has affected many of the youth. So memorize these texts and then go to the Scholars and the students of knowledge (for the explanation). Then you can continue with more detailed and advanced [books]. Begin with the small affairs of knowledge, until you reach the big affairs of knowledge - if this expression is correct.

This is how the one who wants to seek knowledge progresses. And he should never listen to these agitations which take place around him! A person might say to himself, "Does this mean that you want us to live isolated from the world, and that we don't have any knowledge about Fiqh al-Waaqi' (science of

the current affairs)?"
As for Fiqh al-Waaqi': listen to the radio and read the newspaper sometimes. Fiqh al-Waaqi' will reach you while you are walking in the street, while you are in the car or at home.

Do not burden yourself [with this], just learn [your religion] and stick to knowledge.

That is purer for your hearts and their hearts – Shaykh Salih Fawzan
“And when you ask them (i.e. Prophet’s wives) for something, then ask them from behind a veil (Hijaab).” [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 53]

Even though the ones intended by this verse were the wives of the Prophet, the verse is general. So the wording in the verse is specific for the Prophet’s wives, while its meaning is universal for all women since the Prophet’s wives are the role-models for the believing women. Allaah explains this thoroughly in His next statement, where He says:

ذَلِكُمْ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ

“That is purer for your hearts and their hearts.” [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 53]

Allaah ordered that the women be asked from behind a Hijaab. What is meant by the word Hijaab is: Anything that covers a woman whether a garment, a wall, a door or any other object that can be used to screen a woman from a man when he is talking to her or asking her about something or handing her something. All of these should be done from behind a Hijaab, i.e. from behind a screen or covering. So he should not make any contact with her while she is unscreened or lacking covering and exposed. Rather, she must be behind a screen that covers her, regardless if it is her garment, her door, a wall or so on. This is since this is “purer for your hearts and their hearts” from temptation. If women screen themselves by way of a Hijaab and the gaze of men does not fall upon them, the hearts of both the men and women will be saved from temptation and enticement. This is clearly visible in the Muslim societies that strictly adhere to the Hijaab.

A society that strictly adheres to the Hijaab is preserved from the corruption of morals. In fact, it is the lack of Hijaab that results in immorality and the temptation of men’s desires. Therefore Allaah’s saying: “That is purer for your hearts and their hearts” contains a basis that is universal for the whole ummah since the Hijaab consists of a purification of the hearts for both men and women in an equal manner. It blocks all the pathways that lead to the corruption of morals.

"It is haram (prohibited) for someone who does not know my evidence to give fatwaa (verdicts) on the basis of my words." Another narration adds, "... for we are mortals: we say one thing one day, and take it back the next day."

1.5) ما جاء عن الله تعالى فعلى الرأس والعينين وما جاء عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسمعا وطاعة وما جاء عن الصحابة رضي الله عنهم تخيرنا من أقوالهم ولم نخرج عنهم وما جاء عن التابعين فهم رجال ونحن رجال

" What comes to us (directly) from the Allah the Almighty (i.e. in the Qur’an) is held the most supreme by us, and what reaches us from the Messenger of Allah -peace and blessings of Allah be upon him- we (simply) listen and obey, and what reaches from the Companions -Allah be pleased with them- we chose the best from their opinions and do not leave them all (i.e. we stick to one of their opinions) and what comes to us from the opinions of the Followers (tabi’un), so they are men like us."

We Take Our Religion from the Companions

ʿAbbād b. Al-ʿAwwām narrates:

Sharīk b. ʿAbdillāh came to us around fifty years ago, and we said to him, “O Abū ʿAbdillāh, here amongst us there are people from the Muʿtazilah who reject these āḥādīth [like]: ‘Allāh descends to the lowest heaven’, and ‘the people of Jannah will see their Lord’. So Sharīk narrated to me around ten such narrations, then said: ‘As for us, we have taken our religion from the sons of the Tābiʿīn, from the Ṣaḥābah. Who have they taken from?’”
