BENEFIT 128: Possessing/buying books of scholars which contain commentary or verification by misguided individuals
QUESTION: We have some books authored by the scholars and imams such as Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Muhammad ibn Abdil Wahhab, may Allah have mercy on them all, which have been checked by people who have deviated from the Sunnah, and some books are expensive so we cannot afford to buy them, therefore, is it appropriate for us to utilise these books in our studies, bearing in mind that the explanations and…

Imām Ash-Shāṭibī (رحمه الله) said:

Shaykh Abū al-Mundhir ʿAmmār Bin ʿAbd al-Jalīl al-Wureyfī al-Ḥawbānī حفظه الله ورعاه said:
I asked our Shaykh al-ʿAllāmah Yaḥyā bin ʿAlī al-Ḥajūrī حفظه الله: "Is it appropriate for us to branch al-Ḥizbiyyah (partisanship) into two:
1 - Partisanship in (affairs of) the Dīn, and this is a Bidʿah (innovation.)
2 - Partisanship in (affairs of) the Dunyā, and this is not a Bidʿah?"
So our Shaykh, Yaḥyā حفظه الله رعاه, answered: "Partisanship, (al-Ḥizbiyyah) all of it, is an innovation."

Muḥammad ibn Yūsuf never used to buy his provisions from just one baker or one grocer. He said, "Perhaps they will recognise me and treat me favourably, and then I would become one who lives off his Deen!"
[Al-Muntadham by Ibn al-Jawzi, 100]
We do not buy Teen (figs) using the Deen
Ibrahim ibn Ad-ham passed by a boy selling figs, and he said to him: 'O boy, give me some of these figs.' The boy refused to sell to him. Then, a man approached the seller and said to him: 'Sell the figs to this man, for he is Ibrahim ibn Ad-ham.' So, the boy followed Ibrahim and said: 'O uncle, take whatever figs you want.' Ibrahim replied: 'We do not buy figs using the…

One day, 'Abdullah Ibn Muhaireez Al-Jumahi (A great Taabi'ee, D. 99H) went to a cloth merchant to buy a garment, and though the merchant did not know him, there was another man present who knew him.

'Abdullāh ibn Amr ibn al-'As reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "Successful is he who has accepted Islam, has sufficient provision and is made content with what Allah has given him." [Sahih Muslim, 1054]
What is sufficient provision?
عَنْ مِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: ‏((مَا مَلأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ، بِحَسْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلاَتٌ يُقِمْنَ…

Imām Ibn Al-'Arabi Al-Māliki raḥimahullāh stated: "If people cannot find any flaws in someone but are consumed by jealousy and hatred towards them, they will fabricate flaws." [Al-'Awāṣim min Al-Qawāsim (2/964)]

A message to those who accuse Sheikh Albāni of irjā'
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh wrote:
‏الإمام ‎الألباني رحمه الله سني سلفي في باب ‎الإيمان وغيره من أبواب الدين وكان بعيدا عن ‎الإرجاء يظهر ذلك من أوجه:
Imam Albāni, may Allāh have mercy on him, was a Sunni Salafi scholar in the affair of Ēmān and other aspects of the religion. His stance was far from Irjā', as proven by several factors:

1. Wasaa'il Ad-Da'wah (the means for propagating Da'wah) are Tawqeefiyyah (confined to the evidences), meaning, it is not allowed for anyone to introduce any means for propagating Da'wah, whether it be fundraising for a masjid or other than that from affairs related to worship. This is what the scholars mean when they say:

Some of the brothers from Thailand asked me about a practice in their country where, after Jumu'ah prayers, some masjids pass around a box between the worshippers, and they contribute money to it. Some give, while others do not, but it gets passed by all the worshippers. Is this action permissible?
