The Noble Shaykh Muhammmad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have mercy upon) stated:
In your spreading of the knowledge, it is spreading of the religion of Allah. Therefore you are from those who strive in the path of Allah. The one striving in the path of Allah opens up the lands one after another in order for him to spread the religion in them. And you are opening up the hearts with the knowledge in order that you spread the legislation of Allah azza wa jall within them.
The Noble Shaykh, al-‘Allāmah, Rabee’ Ibn Hādī ‘Umayr al-Madkhali (may Allāh preserve him) said:
Indeed the people of innovations nowadays are many, filling the earth — refuge is sought with Allāh! Thus we do not boycott all of them, but rather they are the objective (target) of our call. We call them to Allāh with wisdom and fair preaching. As for the leaders and callers to falsehood in their (i.e., Ahlul Bida’) newspapers, magazines, books, articles, lectures, seminars and websites — these are the ones who are to be warred against and warned from. And they are not to be sat with, read from, or benefited from.

Question Posed to Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan about Valentine’s Day:
Question:
May Allah do good to you Noble Shaykh. These are a number of question concerning that which has been named the “Holiday of Love” (I.e. Valentine’s Day). They hope from you the clarity concerning the dangers of this celebration and an issued Fatwaa from the Permanent Committee of Scholars regarding this topic?
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Umar Baazmool (may Allah preserve him) stated:
The man being upright and the woman being upright does not mean that there aren’t things between them that does not please the other. It’s possible that there can be in the righteous man an aspect of character that his wife hates in him and the opposite likewise.
It’s not a condition of uprightness that the person is free from every defect or deficiency. The Muslim is to conduct himself in a manner in which the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) taught us.
Imam Muslim mentions in his Saheeh (# 1469) on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “The believing man should not hate the believing woman. If he dislikes a trait of hers, he is pleased with another.” Continue reading
The Noble Shaykh al-Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmi (may Allah have mercy upon) stated:
“The one who outwardly displays to the people that he’s upon the Sunnah and Salafiyyah, but (in reality) he’s a innovator, it’s a must that Allah will expose his inner affairs no matter how long he remains hidden.”

Question Posed To Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him):
May Allah treat you with good, Noble Shaykh. This questioner asks: “If there is someone who is stronger than me in faith, piety and knowledge, and I know that I am upon acts of disobedience to Allah and my faith is weak, can I request from this person to perform the ruqyah upon me, or is it better that I perform it upon myself?”
The Noble Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) responded:
Perform the ruqyah upon yourself. Don’t seek the ruqyah (from someone else). Be independent from the people even if you are one who is disobedient (to Allah). Is it mandatory that you have to be a complete (believer), not having committed any acts of disobedience?! None of us – and there is no might of power except with Allah – are free from acts of disobedience. Continue reading
The Noble Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadi al-Madkhali (may Allah preserve him) stated:
Indeed the people of innovation today are many and they fill the earth. The refuge is sought with Allah. We do not boycott them all. Indeed they are the focal point of our call. We call them to Allah with wisdom and beautiful preaching.
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
As for the Imams of the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah, the people of knowledge and Eemaan: They have in them knowledge, justice and mercy. They know the truth by which they are in agreement with the Sunnah, safe from the affairs of innovation. They are just with those who exit from it (i.e. The realm of the Sunnah), even if they (the ones who exited from the realm of the Sunnah) oppress them (the scholars). Continue reading
The Allaamah Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadi al-Madkhali (may Allah preserve him) stated:
The believer always fears that his state will change. It has been established on the authority of Aa’ishah and ‘Anas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to say:
((Oh turner of the hearts, establish my heart upon Your religion.))
