There is no sectarianism within Islam! | Sheikh Muqbil ibn Hadi rahimahullah
_
{اتَّبِعُوا مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا مِن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ ۗ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ}
"[Say (O Muhammad ﷺ) to these idolaters (pagan Arabs) of your folk:] Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Quran and Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Auliya’ (protectors and helpers, etc. who order you to associate partners in worship with Allah), besides…
BENEFIT 294: Students of Knowledge should dedicate Some Time to Reading Knowledge-based Refutations
Sheikh Khaleel Al-Hammadi ḥafidhahullāh said:
"I advise students to read what has been written regarding the fitnah of [Abdurahman] Al-’Adani, Abul Hasan Al-Misri Al-Ma’ribi, and others who stirred up fitnah, such as Salih Al-Bakri and others like them. This is because a student of knowledge, the more they read knowledge-based refutations, the stronger and more steadfast they become, and the more knowledgeable they…
BENEFIT 293: How can one distinguish between when a da'ee is calling to Allāh and when they are calling to themselves?
Sheikh Ṣāliḥ Al-Fawzān ḥafidhahullāh said:
«...فبعض الناس، إذا لم يُمدَح ويُشَجَّع ترك الدعوة، وهذا دليل على أنه لا يدعو إلى الله، وإنما يدعو إلى نفسه...»
"...Some people, when they are not praised or encouraged, stop giving Da’wah. This is evidence that they are not calling to Allāh, but rather calling to themselves..."

BENEFIT 292: The Gate of Ijtihād has NOT been shut!
Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili ḥafidhahullāh states:
"The Ummah still requires the efforts of Mujtahids (qualified jurists), as contemporary challenges are numerous, and it is not accurate to claim that the gate of ijtihad (independent reasoning) has been closed.
A noteworthy scholarly debate in this regard: one scholar debated another who argued that the gate of ijtihad had been shut, asserting that no one is…
I believe no Salafi with insight would accept the contents of Muhammad Al-Imam's pact with the Houthis. However, if anyone has any doubts, I encourage you to listen to this discussion, where Sheikh Lu
This is a summary of the above audio, highlighting Muhammad Al-Imam's statements (some of which contain blatant lies and a distortion of the reality (*) alongside Sheikh Yahya's responses.

(*) It is possible that these same lies and distortions have been presented to some of the scholars outside Yemen, leading them to make negative remarks or adopt an unfavourable stance towards Sheikh Yahya and his students.
Extract from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to Muhammad Al-Imam regarding the Rafidha
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh states:
"Fifthly, Sheikh Muhammad, may Allāh grant you success, is it part of preserving the Da’wah to align yourself with the Rafidha? Does this not harm the Da’wah by supporting falsehood and its people? This has led to some Houthis recording your voice and spreading claims such as "the Rafidha are Muslims" and other statements you made in their support. Defending those who betray…
BENEFIT 291: Referring to a Kāfir, munāfiq, or fāsiq as 'Sayyid' (master)
Sheikh ibn Bāz raḥimahullāh said:
"Yes, a disbeliever or an immoral person is not to be be called "Sayyid" because it is reported from the Prophet ﷺ that he said: "Do not call a sinner 'Sayyid,'" (*) and the Prophet ﷺ prohibited this. Therefore, a believer is not to call a disbeliever or a sinner "Sayyid," as this is a term of high status and honour, like "chief," "leader," or "Faqeeh/scholar." A disbeliever in…
BENEFIT 290: Exempting someone from takfīr based on ta'wīl does not imply that the same exemption applies when it comes to tabdi’
Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidahullah states:
"Ahlus-Sunnah unanimously agree that ta’wil (misinterpretation) prevents takfir. However, Ahlus-Sunnah have declared tabdi’ on the Ash'aris and the Mu'tazilah, yet they did not declare takfīr on them, even though some of their statements are statements of Kufr. For instance, the Ash'aris denied the attributes of Allah, and this is considered Kufr in Allah. Similarly, the…
Muhammad Al-Imam claims that the Houthis are his brothers in faith (having absolved them of Kufr, despite acknowledging that they curse the Sahabah) and even refers to some of their leaders as 'Sayyid.' This has been reciprocated in kind by the Rafidha.
Doesn't this suggest a flaw in his walaa wal baraa?
Isn't walaa wal baraa among the fundamental principles of Salafiyyah?
Isn't the violation of such a…

Biography of Muḥammad Al-Imām for those who don't know him! | Sheikh Hussein Aṣ-Ṣalāḥi ḥafidhahullāh
In this lecture, the Sheikh provides a thorough overview of the different stages Muhammad Al-Imam underwent in relation to the Rafidha in Yemen.
What confirms the essence of the above treatise is the fact that Muhammad Al-Imam acknowledges the Houthi's insults toward the Sahaba, yet he refrains from declaring them disbelievers.
Such individuals fear losing their authority, wealth, or sustenance and thus deliberately choose Kufr over Ēmān.
(c) The third is indifference, where one neither examines what the Messenger brought nor loves or hates it, nor shows allegiance to or hostility against it, but instead entirely neglects both following and opposing it." [end quote]
There is no disagreement on this matter among the Salaf or the people of truth and guidance. The only opposition came from some theologians (Ahlul kalam), and Muhammad Al-Imam has…
This treatise was authored by Sheikh Sa'eed Da’aas, a distinguished Sheikh who was murdered at the hands of the Houthis, may Allāh have mercy on him.
In this treatise, the author, raḥimahullāh, addresses the critical error that led Muhammad Al-Imam to absolve the Rafidha of Kufr.

Al-Hafidh Ibn Rajab stated [Jami' al-'Uloom wa al-Hikam (1/130)]: "As for abandoning the religion and separating from the main body, it means apostatising from the religion of Islam, even if one professes the two testimonies of faith. For instance, if a person reviles Allāh…
