5⃣. Tamyee' (watering down the truth) is not Ijtihaad!

▪️The Mumayyi' is one who waters down the Truth. Shaykh Abu Amr Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: "The mumayyi' is the one who does not take matters with determination and firm resolve, rather they break away infront of him while his goal is to please this one and not to anger that one. As a result, his da'wah goes to waste and it becomes futile due to him resigning from speaking the truth, or committing sins, and maybe even being silent from a great duty; that is the duty of commanding good and forbidding evil, claiming that to be from hikmah (wisdom) in da'wah or for the benefit for the da'wah. To the degree where our Shaykh Muqbil rahimahullah would said: "The da'wah is not an idol that is worshiped (besides Allah)." He (Shaykh Muqbil) would speak the truth and he would not fear the blame of the blamers. He would not flatter anyone (regarding their mistakes). Similarly, our Shaykh Yahya al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: "Hikmah (wisdom) is not fortunetelling, rather Hikmah is what conforms to the Book and Sunnah" [A'waaiq ad-Da'watus Salafiyyah, page 91, print: Al-Athariyyah] Also, Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee rahimahullah said: "The mistake of a scholar that falls contrary to the religion is like a hole in the deen, so if it is not clarified to the people that hole expands, and if others try to make excuses for him and allow his mistake (to be practiced) that hole expands and corrupts the deen…" [Misbaah adh-Dhalaam, page 52] ____ The above posts were taken from a pamphlet on aloloomenglish which was sent to me by Abu Ya'qub Abdullah Az-Zayla'ee hafidhahullah. I think the original pamphlet was compiled by Abu Fajr.
