BENEFIT 462: The Mumayyi' is one who waters down the Truth!
Shaykh Abu Amr Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: "The mumayyi' is the one who does not take matters with determination and firm resolve, rather they break away infront of him while his goal is to please this one and not to anger that one. As a result, his da'wah goes to waste and it becomes futile due to him resigning from speaking the truth, or committing sins, and maybe even being silent from a great duty; that is…
BENEFIT 461: Abandoning Knowledge-Based Refutations Hardens The Heart
He says: What is your opinion of those who claim that books of refutations harden the hearts?
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan hafidahullah:
No, abandoning refutations is what hardens the hearts. This is because people live upon error and misguidance, which causes their hearts to harden(1). But when the truth is clarified and falsehood is refuted, this—without a doubt—is among the things that soften hearts.

BENEFIT 460: The Duty of a Student of Knowledge to His People
This questioner asks: If a student of knowledge is living in his own country but fears for his faith due to potential fitnah, and he migrates to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia—may Allāh preserve it—for the sake of safeguarding his religion, even though the people of his country are in dire need of him
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan hafidahullah:
No, if the Muslims in his country are in need of him, then his remaining among…
BENEFIT 459: Importance of Keeping Masjids Open Beyond Prayer Times
Sheikh Mansoor Al-Majeedi hafidahullah states:
In many countries, masjids have come to resemble government offices—opening five minutes before prayer and closing five minutes after, as a matter of official policy. If someone arrives ten minutes after the congregation has finished, they find all the masjids closed, with nowhere to perform their prayer. This practice undermines the mission of the masjid and…
BENEFIT 458: Religious Responsibility in the Absence of Sharia Governance
Question: A number of questions have been received from individuals stating that they live in certain Muslim countries where Islamic law is not implemented, while others reside in non-Muslim countries. They ask: How should obedience be practiced in such circumstances?
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan hafidahullah responds:
Those who reside in non-Muslim countries should establish an Islamic centre to which they can refer.…
BENEFIT 457: Iftā vs. Ijtihād: Understanding Their Differences and Applicability to Students of Knowledge
Question: May Allāh reward you with goodness. This questioner asks: Is there a difference between giving fatwa and exercising ijtihād? And is it permissible for a student of knowledge to engage in ijtihād and issue fatwas, or is this a matter exclusive to scholars?
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah:
Yes, there is no doubt that there is a difference between issuing a fatwa and performing ijtihad. Ijtihad…
objected to. Rather, it is not foreign to the Salafi manhaj at all.
What is truly foreign to the Salafi da'wah is that which deviates from soundness and guidance — such as excessiveness, negligence, extremism, watering down, leniency, or undue rigidity. The balanced, moderate approach is the just and praiseworthy one.
Teaching methods are not fixed by divine legislation; there is flexibility in them, so long as they do not involve anything contrary to the Shari'ah. And the fact…
BENEFIT 456: Intensive Courses and Seminars Are Not Newly Introduced Practices
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
This is a message from a brother who asks: Do “intensive courses” or “knowledge-based seminars” (Ad-dawrat Al-‘ilmiyyah) have any basis in the Sunnah and the way of the righteous predecessors? And is there any reason to reject them or consider them as an innovation introduced into the Salafi Da'wah? These are the two questions.
First Question: Is there a…

BENEFIT 455: A Student of Knowledge Should Never Feel Embarrassed to Admit His Ignorance!
Question: May Allāh reward you and bless you. A brother asks about some pilgrims and those performing ‘Umrah who begin issuing religious verdicts (fatwas) upon arriving here, without referring to the scholars regarding well-known issues in the Fiqh of Hajj and ‘Umrah.
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah:
Yes, a student of knowledge who has studied and learned, and who teaches others within the scope of what he…
The esteemed scholar, Sheikh AbdulAziz Ar-Rajhi (may Allāh preserve him), said:
«فمن ناصر أهل البدع ووالاهم، وذب عنهم وصاحبهم، ولو كان من أهل السنة يهجر ! لأنه بفعله هذا صار مبتدعا، كونه يوالي أهل البدع صار منهم !»
"Whoever supports the people of innovation, allies with them, defends them, or associates with them — even if he is from Ahlus-Sunnah — is to be boycotted! For through such actions, he has become an…

BENEFIT: Eliminating Fitnah By Admitting One's Mistakes
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah states:
Just as I advise the Shuyūkh that when an error is made clear to them—an error they have fallen into—they should not persist in defending it, nor should they attempt to justify it. The matter is simple: “I made a mistake in this, and I seek Allāh’s forgiveness.” What harm would that do to you? You are a Sheikh; admitting a mistake will not diminish your status. On the…
BENEFIT 453: It is Necessary to Accept Al-Jarh Al-Mufassar From Competent Scholars
Question: May Allāh reward you with goodness. The questioner asks: Based on what you explained yesterday, if a scholar warns against a certain individual and presents evidence for his warning, but other scholars do not agree with him, should we then also warn against those scholars who disagreed with him? And what is the evidence for that from the books of Al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil or from the Sunnah?
This highlights…

The Messenger of Allāh would send a single person to deliver his message: one to the Emperor of Persia, and the message was binding; one to the Byzantine emperor, and the message was binding. If they refused Islam after receiving the message from this one truthful person, he would prepare an army. He ﷺ prepared the expedition of Tabuk against the Romans because they rejected the message delivered by a single man. He…
BENEFIT 452: I Am Not Obliged to Accept The Jarh!!
Question: Are the issues of Al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil based on personal reasoning (ijtihad)? And how do we respond to those who claim that and say we are not obliged to follow the statements of such-and-such a scholar?
Sheikh Rabee Al-Madkhali hafidahullah:
A group of individuals who have infiltrated the Salafi manhaj and falsely wear the cloak of Salafiyyah have focused on the issue of Al-Jarh wa At-Ta'dil. They say:…

Sheikh Zaid Al-Madkhali rahimahullah:
My view is that anyone who has studied and mastered some knowledge of Islamic sciences and jurisprudence is not to be blamed for teaching what he knows. In fact, he will be rewarded for sharing beneficial knowledge. It is not a condition that he must have a tazkiyah. What matters is what he teaches people — if he teaches them correct rulings based on proper evidence from the…
BENEFIT 451: Possessing a Tazkiyah is Not a Necessary Requirement for Teaching and Giving Da'wah
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili hafidahullah:
Dear brothers, a person must call to Allāh based on what they know. It is not permissible to prevent anyone from calling to Allāh with knowledge — to the extent of what they have learned — under any pretext. Those who oppose our brothers who call to tawheed and the Sunnah and say, “You are not allowed to do so unless you have a tazkiyah from such-and-such scholar,” are…
BENEFIT 450: University Degrees Are Considered a Form of Tazkiyah
A questioner from outside this country asks: Some students of knowledge, upon returning to their home countries to teach people the matters of their religion and creed, are required to obtain a recommendation (tazkiyah) from a Salafi scholar. His question is: Is such a tazkiyah obligatory in order to teach people, especially given that it may be difficult to obtain...

It is this group who…
