[T.N. They cause division between the Du'aat by offering them financial assistance. At first it appears that they are doing this unconditionally for the sake of

'الجمعيات أستار الحزبيات' “Jam'iyyaat are act like a smokescreen for Hizbiyyah.” In the same way, Sheikh Muqbil rahimahullah used to say: 'الجمعيات حزبية مغلفة' “Jam'iyyaat are hidden forms of Hizbiyyah”]. Source: https://t.me/sh_yahia_duroos/14151 __ Additional contraventions: [POINT 8] - Every Jam'iyyah has to appoint a chairman, whereas appointing a chairman/ an Ameer while resident (الإمارة في الحضر) is an innovation. The only Ameer during residency is the main Ameer/leader of the Muslims, and the only time where it's allowed to appoint an Ameer (aside from the main Ameer) is when travelling as a group of three or more, as reported by Abu Dawud (2609) on the authority of Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu. What's more, some of these Jam'iyyaat request members to pledge allegiance (bay'ah) to the board of directors of the Jam'iyyah. [POINT 9] - Jam'iyyaat must conform and operate according to man-made laws. They also hold elections to appoint/demote chairmen and trustees, although this may vary from one Jam'iyyah to another. [POINT 10] - Jam'iyyaat operate with a level of secrecy. For example, they hold secret board meetings between members of the jam'iyyah on a weekly, monthly or annul basis. However, the Prophet ﷺ said: ((عليك بالعلانية وإياك والسر)) “Observe openness and beware of secrecy.” [Sheikh Albani said the chain of transmission is good (jayyid)] Also, 'Umar radhiyallahu anhu said: 'إذا رأيت قوما يتناجون في دينهم دون العامة فاعلم أنهم في تأسيس ضلالة'. “If you see people engaging in secret discussions about religious affairs away from the general public, then know that they are laying the foundation of misguidance.” [Reported by Abu Nu'aim in Al-Hilyah (5/338), Al-Laalaka'ee in 'As-Sunnah'] So, da'wah related affairs should be referred to and discussed with the people of knowledge - not in these secret board meetings between chairmen and trustees. 🔺Note: These additional contraventions were taken from, الجمعيات حركة لا بركة؛ A treatise endorsed by Sheikh Yahya hafidhahullah.
