((إذا بلغ الماء قلتين لم يحمل الخبث))
If water reaches 2 Qullahs (a large volume of water) it is not affected by impurities.
Ibnul Qayyim mentioned this ḥadīth with relation to dealing with the mistakes of scholars. i.e. Their mistakes are given no weight in comparison to the amount of goodness they carry.
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jazairi ḥafidhahullāh clarifies in this clip that this is true with two conditions:

Response: He was chosen to represent the Saudi delegation to Morocco. He delivered a good lecture outlining some of the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah in dealing with extremism. I'm not sure if the Sheikh
Sheikh Muqbil rahimahullah would be requested to attend the meetings in the presence of the late Alī 'Abdullah Sālih and a group of people of innovation would also be present. Sheikh Yahya mentioned in one of his recent classes (I can't recall which) how he attended one of these meetings and he heard Muhammad Mar'ī As-Sūfī saying:
الديموقراطية نعمة
“Democracy is a blessing.”
As for the hug incident, it could be a…
It was brought to my attention that some individuals have began warning against this channel simply because it contains translations and references to Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruḥaili.
The warning stems from the fact that Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruḥaili has been disparaged for certain errors which have transpired from him.
My obejctive here is to shed light on the matter unbiasedly seeking the pleasure of Allāh, hence I am…

Question: What are the conditions of Khālid Ar-Rāshid and Sulaymān Ar-Ruḥaili?
Sheikh ’Ēsā Al-Muṣannif ḥafidhahullāh: As for Khālid Ar-Rāshid then he is a Takfīrī, Khāriji. As for Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruḥaili then he is from the Sheikhs of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamā’ah, however, he has some issues which warrant criticism, like his praise and his being deceived by some of the Hizbiyyīn from the barmakees and others. I ask Allāh to rectify us and him. He is much better off than Khālid Ar-Rāshid. May…
What is the condition of Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruḥaili?
Answer:
[He is] from Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamā’ah and from the scholars of Al-Madīnah. May Allāh Almighty keep him firm. We do not know him to have spoken ill of the Salafi centre of ḥadīth (Dammaj) and those affiliated to it, nor against our Sheikh, Al-’Allāmah Yaḥyā ibn ’Ali Al-Hajūri, even though many in that city (Al-Madīnah) became affected by the Fitnah of…
BENEFIT 45: Do not put the Manhaj of the Salaf aside because of the errors of SPUBS
My dear brothers and sisters. Again I keep looking at the situation regarding the contemporary Da’wah scene and without fear of reproach it is without doubt that SPUBS have run afoul with the following:
i. Mass Tabdee’ and warning against those who don’t tow their line even if they are scholars who ascribe and follow the methodology of the Salaf.
ii. Hysterical fanaticism to Shaikh Rabee’ regarding Jarh Wa…
Benefit 44: The difference between these three principles and when to apply which; (1) Judging by what's apparent, (2) assuming the best, and (3) ḥamlul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal ?
Judging by what's apparent and having good assumptions are both from the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah, whereas ḥamlul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal is one of the principles of the people of innovation and Taḥazzub.
To begin with, it's necessary to differentiate between judging by what's apparent and having good assumptions; that is, we continue to assume the best until something concrete comes to prove otherwise. So if you…
The difference between these three and when to apply which; (1) Judging by what's apparent, (2) assuming the best, and (3) ḥamlul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal.
Explained by Sheikh Salmān Al-’Imād ḥafidhahullāh
https://t.me/salmansalehalemad/2299
Three examples pertaining to Ḥamul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal:
1. Imām Ibnul Qayyim held and strongly supported the opinion in some of his books that Paradise and Hellfire will eventually perish, and this is in contradiction to what is clearly stated in the Qur'ān and Sunnah that the inhabitants of paradise will abide therein forever just as the disbelievers will abide in hellfire forever. Many scholars spoke and wrote to refute Ibnul Qayyim despite the fact that he stated the…
Nonetheless, the Salaf considered this to be a misleading statement and attributed it to innovation, and it was on this basis why Imām Aḥmad declared innovation upon Al-Ḥārith Al-Muḥāsibi and Ḥussein
Likewise, Imām Aḥmad declared innovation upon the wāqifah; those who said 'The Qur'ān is the speech of Allāh,' and refrained from affirming if it is created or not. Among them was Ya’qūb ibn Shaybah, who was one of the great scholars of ḥadīth.
And anyone who studies the books of ’Aqīdah and the specialist books of Al-Jarḥ wa At-Ta’dīl, such as "Aḍh-Ḍhu’afā" by Al-Bukhāri, "Aḍh-Ḍhu’afā wal Matrūkīn" by An-Nasā'ē,…
He said 'Restrain this.' I said: 'O Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah! Will we be taken to account for what we say?' He said: 'May your mother grieve your loss O Mu'adh! Are the people tossed into the Fire upon th
This ḥadīth illustrates the danger of the tongue, and that the harvests of the tongue is what causes people to be thrown on their faces into Hell, and this applies whether the speech is Mujmal or Mufaṣṣal. So where is the application of ḥamlul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal in this prophetic warning?
4. Narrated Abu Hurayrah: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: “There were two men among Banu Isra'il, who were striving…
Rather, we have good thoughts of them that perhaps he intended something else or perhaps it was a slip of the tongue, but at the same time we must reject that error, refute it and clarify that which m
Narrated Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri: the Prophet ﷺ: “It should not prevent a man from speaking the truth when he knows it, the respect and fear that he has for people.” (Narrated by Trimidhi and authenticated by Sheikh Albāni in silsilatu Saheehah)
We should continue to give our fellow Muslim excuse until it becomes clear to us either immediately or after a while that such person is a person of desire who persists upon…
حَمْلُ الْمُجْمَلِ عَلَى الْمُفَصَّلِ
"ḥamlul Mujmal ’alal Mufaṣṣal"?
This principle means, we have to refer ambiguous [misleading] statements back to detailed [clear] statements and use the latter to correctly interpret the former.
This principle has two applications:
(1) a CORRECT application, and
(2) an INCORRECT application
CORRECT APPLICATION:
We use this principle as a harmonising mechanism to reconcile…
Benefit 42: When do we have bad thoughts of fellow Muslims?
Allāh ﷻ said:
﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ}
“O believers! Avoid many suspicions, ˹for˺ indeed, some suspicions are sinful.” [Sūrah Al-Ḥujurāt: 12]
In this Āyah, Allāh ﷻ clarifies to us that "some" suspicions are sinful; meaning, not all suspicion is sinful, but rather suspicion may be praiseworthy!
So even though the origin is to have good thoughts of…
