Who Is This Sheikh?

Some brothers are asking: Who is this Shaykh whose words were shared today? In brief, the answer is as follows: Shaykh Saʿīd Al-Hilayl, may Allāh preserve him, is one of the Salafi scholars of the Sunnah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—may Allāh protect it. He resides in the province of Ḥāʾil, where he is regarded as its mufti. He delivers beneficial lessons and travels for daʿwah, including at the Ḥaramain. He is distinguished among the scholars for his stance against the people of innovation and desires, and he has issued refutations against them based on clear proof and evidence. Some troublemakers and slanderers attempted to provoke him into speaking negatively about the scholars of Dammāj and sought to stir resentment in his heart against Shaykh Yaḥyā Al-Ḥajūrī. However, they gained nothing from him except sincere and kind advice. Despite visiting him multiple times, they returned empty-handed—by the grace of Allāh. Shaykh Saʿīd is a devoted supporter of the Salafi daʿwah. He knows Shaykh Yaḥyā personally and has sat with him. He regularly asks about him, the daʿwah efforts, and the students, and he receives the latest updates regarding his statements. Whenever we communicate with him, he sends his greetings to them. He also maintains contact with a number of other scholars and students of knowledge. May Allāh reward him with goodness. Written by: Abū Mālik Ar-Raymī – may Allāh pardon him Makkah Al-Mukarramah
