Question: What are your thoughts regarding those who disparage their brothers from the Salafi du'at in Britain, simply because they do not agree with warning ag

Sheikh ’Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: This speech, that when the Sheikh was in Saudi he was unable to speak clearly about Al-Jarh and so on, this speech is false! It has no basis! During his stay in Saudi, Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh was given good treatment by the authorities of that country, may Allāh rectify their affairs and protect their country. They allowed him to teach, and so people would come to him from here and there, and his affair was like that of any other advisor and reformer from among the scholars, and there were no conditions placed upon him - that you can speak about certain issues but not others. So this (speech) is like the saying of some, that Sheikh Yahya has changed after leaving Dammaj. So one has to be just and they should not insult their Sheikh, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Thereafter, our brothers in Britain, Canada & America, we hear good things about their Da'wah, such as our brother Abu Ishaq, our brother Abu Atiyyah; both of whom are in London. Similarly, our brother Abu Fajr in Canada, and also the brother Majeed Al-Afghani who has good translations and good efforts in Canada. And the likes of AbdulHakeem Al-Amreeki and Isma'eel Al-Ghazzali, both of whom are in America, and many others whom we do not know or remember their names. They are all upon Tamayyuz, upon a Salafi Da'wah, upon a pleasing path, as we perceive from them and Allāh is their Judge. And if there are any shortcomings, then no one is safe from shortcomings. Surely Muslims advice one another. As for disparaging them, and speaking ill of them in an indirect manner; why didn't you say such-and-such? Why didn't you declare so-and-so to be an innovator? The Da'wah has its men. It has its scholars and its bearers. It is not left open ended. Thus whoever is declared an innovator by the scholars, then the ruling of the scholars is to be taken and benefitted from. And whoever has not been declared an innovator, there's no need to dispute concerning them. There are some mashayekh who have not reached the point of innovation, but they have mistakes, they have violations, they have errors in manhaj, and so on, so if the scholars have not declared them to be innovators, then do not use them to test your Salafi brothers, such that you attack them and keep them busy with things which they do not need to be busied with. Alhamdulillah, Ahlus-Sunnah are far from being deceived - not by the Hizbiyyeen, nor by the mistakes of those who have not reached the point of Hizbiyyah. Also, beware of introducing people to issues they are not in need of, like the issue of Al-Udhr bil Jahl (the excuse of ignorance). We're done with this matter alhamdulillah. The matter has been clarified and made clear; that being, it is an issue of differing - so whoever excuses the ignorant ones based on legal conditions, he is neither deemed an innovator nor a Faasiq, nor is he boycotted or warned against. Similarly, whoever does not excuse them -without transgressing the limits like those who make takfeer of anyone who excuses them based on legal conditions- he too is not to be rebuked. Both paths have been trodden by the scholars. Also, the issue of accusing others of irjaa'. There may be differing between us and some scholars pertaining to manhaj and so on, however, one of them goes and accuses him of irjaa' and wants to generalise this ruling to everyone, whereas others may not see there to be any irjaa'.
