We only accept the statements of scholars that agree with the Qur’an and the Sunnah. We judge their words by these two sources—we do not judge the Qur’an and Su

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "ونحن..نوالي علماء المسلمين، ونتخيَّر من أقوالهم ما وافق الكتاب والسنة ونزِنُها بهما، لا نزِنُهما بقول أحدٍ، كائنًا من كان، ولا نتَّخذ من دون الله تعالى ورسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم رجلًا يصيب ويخطئ، فنتبعه في كل ما قال، ونمنع - بل نحرِّم - متابعة غيره في كلِّ ما خالفه فيه. وبهذا أوصانا أئمة الإسلام، فهذا عهدُهم إلينا، فنحن في ذلك على منهاجهم وطريقهم وهديهم؛ دونَ من خالفنا، وبالله تعالى التوفيق." "We...support and respect the scholars of Islam, and we choose from their opinions what agrees with the Qur’an and the Sunnah. We use these two to judge their views—we do not judge the Qur’an and Sunnah by anyone’s words, whoever they may be. We do not take anyone besides Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) as a person who is always right or wrong and then follow everything they say, while forbidding—rather, declaring it prohibited—to follow others when they differ from him. This is what the leaders of Islam advised us to do. This is their legacy to us. We follow their path, their method, and their guidance—not those who go against it. And success comes from Allah." 📚 Al-Furūsiyyah Al-Muḥammadiyyah
