Manhaj Benefits

Discussion: -> Salafi: ’Uthmān Al-Khamīs has manhaj issues and leans towards Surūriyyah. He needs to repent and rectify his errors. -> Ikhwani: Al-’Allāmah ’Uthmān Al-Khamīs is a great scholar, a reformer, a faqeeh...while you are a Madkhali from the sect of excessive criticism—an agent of the CIA and a servant of the Ṭawāgheet! A few days later… -> ’Uthmān Al-Khamīs: In my view, Hamas is a deviant group and…

Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said: Our response is that this claim is not accepted. The answer to this and similar objections is that the assumption that charity organisations are entirely free from evils is purely hypothetical, a conceptual construct with no actual existence in reality! 📌 Furthermore, it can be said to them that there is no charity organisation that does not contain some degree of…

يَقُولُونَ لِي فِيكَ انْقِبَاضٌ وَإِنَّمَا ... رَأَوْا رَجُلًا عَنْ مَوْقِفِ الذُّلِّ أَحْجَمَا They say I am reserved and withdrawn, but in truth, They have only seen a man who refuses to stand in a place of humiliation. أَرَى النَّاسَ مَنْ دَانَاهُمُ هَانَ عِنْدَهُمُ ... وَمَنْ أَكْرَمَتْهُ عِزَّةُ النَّفْسِ أُكْرِمَا I see that those who lower themselves are belittled by others, While those who uphold…

And He said about Prophet Shu‘ayb (peace be upon him): "The residents of Al-Aikah [near Madyan] belied the Messengers. When Shu‘ayb said to them: ‘Will you not fear Allāh? Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. So fear Allāh and obey me. And I do not ask you for any reward for it; my reward is only from the Lord of the worlds.’" [Ash-Shu’ara: 176-180] Allāh the Almighty also said: "And there came from the…

Sheikh Abū Bakr Al-Ḥammādi ḥafidhahullāh said: "...As for Sheikh Ibn Bāz, may Allāh have mercy on him, having some involvement with charity organisations, this is unrelated to what we are discussing. Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allāh have mercy on him, was not a beggar who went from place to place or from one merchant to another collecting money. He was not someone who distributed envelopes among businessmen or demeaned…

Questioner: A group of youth consulted some students of knowledge and obtained fatwas permitting charity organisations. We would like a brief warning on this matter. Sheikh Rabee’ رزقه الله حسن الخاتمة responds (slightly paraphrased): I have already clarified this. No charity organisation has ever been established under the name of Salafiyyah without ultimately failing. The truly fortunate are those who take…

May Allāh keep us firm upon the truth, protect us from deviation, and grant us steadfastness upon His guidance. Source: https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1382 ____ May Allāh reward you Ya Nasih Al-Ameen!

Question: This is a question from someone stating that the authorities in their country have imposed strict regulations on centres with more than fifteen students, requiring them to be officially registered. However, registration is only granted if the center operates under a charity organisation. The questioner also mentioned that without such registration, they are denied passports, certain necessary medical…

Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhaili وفقه الله says: In truth, I have been asked a question regarding groups and charity organisations within the Salafi framework. I must say that the experience with such charity organisations and groups has been a bitter one. Undoubtedly, hizbees have taken this path as their foundation—forming networks, charity organisations, and groups. Some Salafis have also entered this domain under…

Question: May Allāh reward you with goodness. This is a frequently asked question: What is the ruling on establishing associations in non-Muslim countries for the purpose of da'wah and managing the affairs of Muslims? Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhaili وفقه الله: What appears to me, and Allāh knows best, is the following: Firstly, associations are of two types: The first type consists of charitable organisations…

Question: These days, some tribes or villages gather funds, particularly from expatriates, to allocate them for the benefit of their village or as they see fit. They establish committees with representatives from each tribe and name them after their respective tribe or village. Is this permissible? Sheikh Yahya ḥafidahullāh: They should avoid this practice. However, If an individual is in need and people come…

This fatwa by ’Abdullāh ibn Ghudayyān raḥimahullāh is being used to justify the permissibility of establishing charity organisations. Let us take a closer look, as people, in their eagerness to find a fatwa that supports their views, may sometimes overlook its context. The term "charity organisation" can have multiple usages depending on the context or intention of the speaker.(1) It is possible that Sheikh…

Assuming the translation is accurate, this fatwa is divided into two parts: First Part: "Not Everything the Hizbis Do is Haram" Certainly not. They are Muslims, which means they uphold Tawheed, pray, fast, give Zakah, and may even engage in voluntary acts of worship. The issue raised concerns the stance of scholars in our time—such as Sheikh Rabee', Sheikh Muqbil, Sheikh Yahya, Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili,…
