Manhaj Benefits

“And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has been made clear to him and follows a path other than that of the believers, We will leave him to what he has chosen, and We will expose him to Hell, and what an evil destination.” [Sūrah An-Nisāʾ: 115] This—after guidance has been made clear to him—is a necessary condition. And He, Almighty, says: {وَلَئنِ ٱتَّبَعۡتَ أَهۡوَاۤءَهُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَاۤءَكَ…

O brothers, this is, in reality, a recent issue, not one widely discussed in the works of classical scholars or early generations. They addressed the matter of excusing the ignorant broadly, affirming that ignorance can indeed be a valid excuse in religious matters, as many scholars have agreed. Engaging excessively in this debate offers little benefit. We preferred not to delve too deeply into it; yet the…

This approach is entirely different from that of Sheikh Ibn Baz and his methods, which starkly contrast with the path of these extremist individuals. Additionally, the label "grave-worshippers," used to incite fear and revulsion, is a misrepresentation. Grave-worshippers, who are not worshippers of Allāh, are not Muslims, as anyone who worships graves rather than Allāh cannot claim to be Muslim. However, scholars…

Sheikh Rashād Adh-Dhali'ee: A brother asks, "If someone does not excuse grave-worshippers before the evidence is established upon them, are they considered 'takfeeri'?" No, this is not the case, as some great scholars hold this view through careful study, believing it to be the position that draws them closer to Allāh. Thus, the assertion that whoever holds the view that an ignorant grave-worshipper or someone…

Imam Abu Dawud asked the Imam of Ahlus-Sunnah, Ahmad ibn Hanbal: 'I see a man from Ahlus-Sunnah with a man from Ahlul-Bid'ah; should I stop speaking to him?' He replied: 'No, but inform him that the man you saw him with is a person of innovation. If he stops speaking to him, then speak with him. Otherwise, align him with that innovator.' [Narrated by Ibn Abi Ya'la in Tabaqat Al-Hanabila] Imam Al-Barbahari, may…

Al-Hāfidh Abū 'Alī An-Naysābūrī (D. 328 H.) said: "I said to Ibn Khuzaymah, 'If only the Ustadh would narrate from Muhammad ibn Humayd, since Ahmad spoke well of him.' He (Ibn Khuzaymah), may Allah have mercy on him, replied, "He did not know him; and if he had known him as we knew him, he would not have praised him at all.'" [Tahdhib At-Tahdhib] 1. Referring to a teacher as 'Ustadh' 2. Excusing a scholar of…

Question: What is the status of Sheikh Abdul Aziz Ar-Rajhi, and is it true that he met with Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori? Sheikh Hasan Ba Shu'aib ḥafidhahullāh: Yes, he met with our Sheikh Yahya, may Allah preserve them both. In general, Sheikh Abdul Aziz Ar-Rajhi is one of the scholars dedicated to knowledge and the call to Tawheed. If certain matters related to da'wah and manhaj, such as the issue of Jam'iyyaat…

"The matter in this regard is simple. Our brother is on the right path and is a steadfast Salafi. If any issue arises, the brothers should resolve it among themselves. Abu Atiyyah Mahmoud al-Somali is a Salafi brother, may Allah bless you. Stand in solidarity with him. If something arises, let us advise one another with wisdom and love. We should ask, "What do you think? Is this beneficial?" If there is doubt, we…

I was sent the following message from the notorious chatroom, in which the writer states: "JazaakAllaahu khairan Yaa Abaa Ibraaheem for this Excellent piece of advice may Allaah reward you for your gentleness, justice and patience upon your brothers even when they don't repay you in the same manner..." RESPONSE: That's right, we've been falling short in repaying him for that chatroom of his, which previously…

Sheikh ’Uthaymīn: I shared this story to clarify that if a mufti is asked about a matter and sees that the questioner has fallen into a greater mistake, what should he do? Student: Advise him. Sheikh: He should advise him. For example, if someone approaches you asking for a fatwa and says that he performed Ṭawāf around the Ka’bah but did not pray behind Maqām Ibrāhīm, and you notice that he has shaved his beard,…

"There's lack of sincerity seen from the channel (Manhaj Benefits). Most, if not all is answered by own insight and understanding regarding this issue. Whenever there's something specific like Tahiri, it is being referred to general evidences. While we know specifics go before generalities. Lack of accepting the advice of the scholars and referring back to them. Delving into other and new topics than the original…

"...And you, O Muslim, beware of turning people away from this religion, whether directly or indirectly, through your actions. Instead, your role is to explain Islam and invite others to it, not to drive them away. When the Prophet ﷺ sent Abu Musa and Mu'adh to Yemen, he instructed them: "Give glad tidings, and do not repel people; make things easy and do not make them difficult; and cooperate and do not differ."…

عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لاَ أَكَادُ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلاَةَ مِمَّا يُطَوِّلُ بِنَا فُلاَنٌ، فَمَا رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي مَوْعِظَةٍ أَشَدَّ غَضَبًا مِنْ يَوْمِئِذٍ فَقَالَ : ((أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ مُنَفِّرُونَ، فَمَنْ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ فَلْيُخَفِّفْ، فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْمَرِيضَ وَالضَّعِيفَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ)).‏ Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari: Once a…

The writer states: "8. I have not received any such statement from my esteemed teachers. With all due respect we have received such statement from some of our teachers..." Commentary: It is well known that some scholars have indicated warnings against Sheikh At-Tahiri, which I referred to at the beginning of the previous statement. It should be noted that resolving disputes in these great matters falls to the…

Indeed, how well is the saying: 'Who is it that has never erred, and who possesses only what is good?' And another has said: 'And I do not abandon a brother whom I do not blame for his shortcomings, regardless of how dishevelled he appears among men...' [end of quote] For further reading, please refer to the following link: https://www.muqbel.net/fatwa.php?fatwa_id=353 The writer states: "6. At-Tahiri's conveying…

Sheikh Salih As-Suhaimi, may Allah preserve him, said in his explanation of “Nullifiers of Islam”: “The tenth nullifier is: ‘He who does not perform any religious acts, even if he ascribes to it, is undoubtedly deemed a disbeliever by the consensus of Muslims. Therefore, whoever does not perform any righteous deeds, even if he bears witness that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah and that Muhammad is His…

Moreover, the writer did not mention Sheikh At-Tahiri's criticism of his teacher, Sheikh Al-Jabiri, may Allah forgive him and have mercy on him, which is relevant to the discussion. It is essential to understand that disputes must be accompanied by justice and fairness, as Allah, the Exalted, stated (interpreted meaning): “Let not the hatred of a people incite you to not act justly. Be just; that is nearer to…

Fourthly, some may wonder how it is possible that he does not know Al-Halabi's condition, as if this is inconceivable. However, even Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allāh preserve him, despite his immense stature, once asked our Sheikh Yahya, may Allāh aid him, about his dispute with the Abul Hasan Al-Misri, whose fitnah could be said to have been greater than Al-Halabi's. https://t.me/AlHajoori/673 The writer…

Commentary: In brief, I did not take note of this specific criticism. However, I find it surprising that this would lead to suspicion. The matter is simple and could have easily been clarified through asking. Ibn Al-Qayyim explained the severity of unjustified suspicion: “As for ill thoughts, it is to to fill one's heart with bad thoughts about people, until it overflows to his tongue and limbs…” [Ar-Ruh, 238]…

The clarification I wrote was in response to those who sought clarity on my position regarding the telelink lecture with Sheikh At-Tahiri—may Allah grant him success to what pleases Him—in light of the observations raised concerning him. I took the opportunity to clarify these observations and addressed the main points around which the comments revolved. As anticipated, remarks were made about my clarification,…
