“How to Advise a Salafi when He Makes a Mistake” – Shaykh Abdullah Al-Bukhari (Safeshare.TV)
Question Posed To Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen on Noor Ala-Darb.
Question:
Is there good innovation and evil innovation (in the religion)?
Answer:
I seek refuge in Allah (from that)! There is never in the religion good innovation. The most knowledgeable of the creation of the legislation, the most eloquent of the creation in speech and the most sincere of the creation to the creation stated: “Every innovation is misguidance.” The word “Every” is from the wordings which imply generality. Rather it is the strongest wordings (to imply) generality. The Prophet said: “Every innovation is misguidance”, he didn’t make any exceptions. That which the person does thinking that it is a good innovation, either it is not innovation however he named it innovation. Or either it is not good and he thinks it to be good. As for the matter coming together that it is innovation and at the same time good, this is impossible. So for this, we criticize those people who have put together (for themselves) specific words of remembrance that they say in the morning or evening, individually or collectively (as a group). We criticize them being that they put together things (for themselves to be practiced in the religion) that have not come in the Sunnah although they see it to be good and view it as something that it virtuous.

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
When you want use something as a proof as to what is in the heart, use the movements of the tongue as a proof. For indeed it makes known that which is in the heart whether the person wills it to be that way or refuses.

Abu Ubayd al-Qaasim Ibn Salaam (may Allah have mercy upon) stated:
The one who is the follower of the Sunnah is similar to the one who holds on to the hot piece of coal. Today (in my opinion), it is more virtuous than the striking of the sword in the path of Allah.
Source: Taareekh al-Baghdaad 14/39, with a strong chain of narrators.
Imaam Ibn Abdul-Barr (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:
Blind following with the Ulamaa is other than (the typical) following. That is because (the typical) following is that you follow the one who made the statement on that which has become clear to you from the virtue of his statement and soundness of his Madhhab. As for blind following, it is that you speak which his speech and you don’t know the angle of the statement nor the meaning of it and you refuse (to follow/accept) other than it. Or it can be that his mistake has become clear to you but you still follow him (and/or his opinion) out of fear of opposing him. This is the case when it indeed has become clear to you the corruption of his statement. And this is prohibited for you to speak with in the religion of Allah glory be to Him the Most High.
The Noble Shaykh Rabee’ al-Madkhalee (may Allah preserve him) stated:
Today the one you see from the Hizbees in this land (i.e. Saudia), all of them, their origin is that they were Salafis. All of them became lost due to mixing, cohabiting, reading and listening to the people of desires. All of those that you see now and it is said about them ‘so and so is a Hizbee’, all of them have not become lost except by this way. They have taken the view of ‘I will take the truth (from the people of desires) and I will leave off the falsehood’. So as a result of that he takes the falsehood and leaves off the truth and becomes an enemy of the truth, waging war upon its people.

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.

((ليس من منهج السلف))
“ليس من منهج السلف الأخذ عن أي أحد إلا بعد النظر في حاله مع السنة. فكان يقال: “إن هذا العلم دين فانظروا عمن تأخذون دينكم
ليس من منهج السلف معاملة أخطاء أهل السنة كمعاملة أهل البدع. فإن كل ابن آدم خطاء، فينظر في منهج الرجل ويعامل الخطأ الذي وقع منه على أساس ذلك
ليس من منهج السلف التحزب والتحالف والإجتماع سراً دون الناس ؛ فقد ورد : “إذا رأيت من يجتمع في المسجد من دون الناس فاعلم أنهم على ضلالة
ليس من منهج السلف تهييج الناس على الحكام وتحريضهم على الخروج أو المظاهرات أو الثورات. أو الانتقاد العلني لهم ولوزرائهم أو عمالهم
ليس من منهج السلف ترك طلب العلم الواجب، وإهمال طلب العلم المستحب
ليس من منهج السلف الهجوم على العلماء والكلام فيهم واطراح علمهم وكتبهم والدعوة إلى حرقها وإتلافها وتارك الرجوع إليها لمجرد خطأ وقعوا فيه
ليس من منهج السلف التعصب للرأي والاعتداد به، فكان قائلهم يقول: ما أنا عليه صواب يحتمل الخطأ، وما مخالفي عليه خطأ يحتمل الصواب
ليس من منهج السلف المعاداة لمجرد وقوع اختلاف، فكانوا يفرقون في ذلك بحسب حال الرجل وواقع المسألة، فالاختلاف مع صفاء النية لا يفسد للود قضية Continue reading
