Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: Taqlīd means following someone who is not a hujjah/proof, without hujjah/proof. This is not permissible. As for what you may see in the words of Ibn Al-Qayyim, as transmitted by Ibn ‘Abdil-Barr or others, that “the scholars agreed that the blind follower is not a scholar,” the meaning is: in the issue in which he blindly followed others. For example, a person may be…

Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan said: “As for that which they now call ‘Khurooj’ (as the Tableeghis claim when they go out for da‘wah), then this is an innovation. It has not been reported from the Salaf. A person going out to call to Allah is not restricted to specific days. Rather, he calls to Allah according to his capability, without restricting it to a group, forty days, or any lesser or greater period. Likewise, it…

Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: “Whoever hears the Qur'an being recited in a clear and understandable way — through the radio or any other means — then the proof has reached him, and he is not ignorant of the Book of Allah.

Is this condition correct? Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah: This condition is incorrect. The idea that we cannot call someone an innovator unless everyone agrees about him is false. In reality, scholars have not agreed about many…

They held tightly to the apparent wording of the texts and became very literal in their understanding. Ibn Kathir said in Al-Bidayah…
