وجدنا خير عيشنا في الصبر
We have found the best way of living through patience.
This is among the most beautiful things I have written from our esteemed scholar, the sincere advisor Sheikh Yahya ibn Ali Al-Hajoori.

All praise is due to Allāh,

During the times of strength and prosperity, when their a group of Muslims called for help or sought support against their enemies, their fellow Muslims would rise to jihad, offering their lives, wealth, and men to free them from oppression and aggression.
However, today, when oppressed Muslims seek assistance, their brothers respond with protests and social media posts to express anger, rejection, and…
Question: Is it permissible to take money in exchange for making du’ā, where a person is believed by his followers to be righteous?
Sheikh Fawzān ḥafidhahullāh responded:
This is not permissible, except in the case of ruqyah, as there is textual evidence allowing compensation for it. However, taking money for making du'a is not permissible. If you charge money for supplicating, your supplication will not be…
Ibn Kathīr wrote in Al-Bidāyah wa An-Nihāyah (11/213):
«كان شديداً على أهل البدع والمعاصي، وكان كبير القدر تعظمه الخاصة والعامة»
"He was severe against the people of innovation and sin. He was highly esteemed, respected by both the elite and the common folk."

"He was the leading figure of his time, at the forefront of denouncing the…
BENEFIT 392: Harshness Toward Ahlul-Bid‘ah Is a Virtue, Not a Crime
Some people—may Allāh guide us and them—see no issue in promoting individuals and institutions that are lenient in their dealings with Ahlul-Bid‘ah, even when these individuals themselves have serious flaws in their manhaj. Yet, when it comes to upright Salafis who remain firm against Ahlul-Bid‘ah, they are hesitant and maintain a distance.
﴿مَا لَكُمۡ كَیۡفَ تَحۡكُمُونَ﴾
"What is the matter with you? How do you…
BENEFIT 391: Why Is There Infighting Among Salafis?
There are several reasons, but one of the main causes is excessive attachment to personalities.
What does this mean?
Some individuals, may Allāh guide them, become so attached to certain individuals that when these individuals deviate from the Salafi methodology—which may happen—they struggle to distance themselves. Rather than acknowledging their errors and siding with those who refute them, they go to great…
"Upon reviewing the site's content, I have not found a single pure Salafi individual; rather, they all appear to be associated with the Ikhwanis, Sururis, and Qutbis, or those who follow their ideology. Should anyone find evidence to the contrary, they are encouraged to inform us."

BENEFIT 389: A Caution against the Al-Alukah website
The Alukah website is an academic platform that hosts multiple pages and sites managed by various individuals under the supervision of Sa'd Al-Humaid.

BENEFIT 388: A Caution against Muhammad ibn Salih Al-Munajjid and his website Islam Q&A

Ibn al-Mubārak said: "Whoever hides his innovation from us, his close associations will not be hidden from us."
[Al-Ibānah As-Ṣughrā, p. 156]
7⃣. Establishing False Principles to Defend Innovators
- Al-Ḥalabī has formulated invalid principles to protect and defend people of innovation.
- Some of these principles, which he has spread through his lectures and books, include:
1. Requiring unanimous agreement for declaring someone an innovator—meaning no one can be labelled an innovator unless all the scholars agree.…
Al-Halabi also supported Murad Shukri’s book, Ihkam At-Taqrir fi Ahkam Al-Takfir, which he personally reviewed and oversaw its publication. The book is based on the deviant Murji'ah methodology, frequ
The lajna also affirmed Al-Halabi's:
-> distortion in quoting the words of scholars
-> selective omission of scholars' statements, for which he has become well known.
-> misinterpretation of scholars' words by imposing meanings they do not convey,
Imām Al-Barbahārī (may Allāh have mercy on him) said: "Beware of minor newly introduced matters, for small innovations eventually grow until they become major ones."…
Errors and Violations for Which Ali Al-Halabi was Declared an Innovator

1. Unity of religions
2. Interfaith brotherhood

4. Equality between religions
5.…

-> The Prophet’s Companions and their successors (Tābiʿūn) upheld this methodology.
-> Over time, deviations emerged, leading to the formation of sects such as the Khawārij, Rāfiḍhah, Qadariyyah, Muʿtazilah, Kullābiyyah, and Ashʿarīs.
-> The Prophet ﷺ foretold that his nation would divide into 73 sects, with…
BENEFIT 387: None of the Sahabah earned a livelihood through begging
Sheikh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allāh have mercy upon him described the Sahabah, saying:
«ولم يكن في الصحابة لا أهل الصفة ولا غيرهم من يتخذ مسألة الناس، ولا الإلحاف في المسألة بالكدية، والشحاذة لا بالزنبيل ولا غيره صناعة وحرفة، بحيث لا يبتغي الرزق إلا بذلك، كما لم يكن في الصحابة أيضا أهل فضول من الأموال يتركون، لا يؤدون الزكاة ولا ينفقون أموالهم في سبيل الله، ولا يعطون في النوائب‏.‏ بل هذان الصنفان…
Valuable advice, especially for those travelling for Umrah from the Marakiz in Yemen ⤵️
Visit the scholars there and try to maintain communication with them
Some of the Mashaayekh advised:
«وأنا أنصح إخواني أن يلتفوا حول علماء أهل السنة وأن يُبيِّنوا لهم الخير والهدى، فإنه قد يلتبس عليهم، لاسيما مع وجود الفتنة في صفوف السلفيين أنفسهم، بأن غلا طائفة وجفا طائفة، فمثل هذا يجعل كثيرًا من أهل العلم لا يُصدق كل ما يُنقل إليه، ولا يُوثق بكل ما يُخبر به. فلذا ينبغي أن نتعاهد علماء السنة هؤلاء بالكلمة الطيبة…
BENEFIT 386: A Caution Against ’Alawi ’Abdulqadir Saqqāf And His Website Ad-Durar As-Saniyyah

The website, along with its associated programmes, which cover Fiqh, Aqeedah, Seerah, and Tafseer, contains elements influenced by Ikhwani ideology. These influences particularly affect their manhaj and approach in dealing with innovators and…
BENEFIT 385: Do not take knowledge from just anyone, and beware of being deceived by outward appearances without inquiry and verification!
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan (may Allāh preserve him), says:
«ليست العبرة بالإنتساب أو فيما يظهر! بل العبرة بالحقائق وبعواقب الأمور، والأشخاص الذين ينتسبون إلى الدعوة يجب أن يُنظر فيهم:
أين درسوا؟
ومَن أين أخذوا العلم؟
وأين نشأوا؟
وما هي عقيدتهم؟
وتنظر أعمالهم وآثارهم في الناس
وماذا أنتجوا من الخير؟
وماذا ترتب على أعمالهم من الإصلاح؟
يجب أن تُدرس أحوالُهم قبلَ أن يُغترَّ بأقوالِهم ومظاهرِهم. هذا أمر لابد منه خصوصاً في…
BENEFIT 384: The condition of Sheikh Khalid Al-Anbari
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
He follows the same path as Ali Al-Halabi and his group, engaging in matters of Eman and Takfeer without insight, often making erroneous judgments.
Scholars have warned against his writings, including his book "Ruling by Other Than What Allāh Has Revealed," which the Permanent Committee issued a fatwa prohibiting its publication. They condemned him for distorting the…
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:

BENEFIT 382: The ruling on calling someone a "shayṭān" (devil)
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
It is permissible to use this term for those who promote falsehood and misguidance.
Allāh Almighty says:
﴿شَیَـٰطِینَ ٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلۡجِنِّ یُوحِی بَعۡضُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضࣲ زُخۡرُفَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ غُرُورࣰا﴾
