BENEFIT 55: Praying in the masjids of Ahlul-Bid’ah while the masjids of Ahlus-Sunnah are accessible QUESTION: We seek advice for those students who refrain from praying in the masjids of Ahlus-Sunnah and instead choose to pray with the ḥizbīs. ANSWER: This person is weak in his Salafiyyah, uprightness, and knowledge. This type of person, after some time, may end up with them (the ḥizbīs); because he prays with…

BENEFIT 54: Praying behind an innovator or a sinful Muslim QUESTION: What is the ruling on praying behind someone who wears their trousers below the ankles? ANSWER by Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: Prayer is valid behind every righteous and wretched FROM THE MUSLIMS. This is from creed of the Salaf, so a Muslim should comprehend the likes of these critical issues. Prayer, or any act of worship, is…

3. The da'ee must not be exploited to lure people and increase their numbers. If he is going to be exploited for this purpose, he must not go. See Sheikh Muqbil's advice above 4. He must not give talks during their special occasions or commemoration events. See the fatwa of Sheikh Salih As-Suhaimi. 5. The daa'ee is entering a risky environment, so he has to be well prepared; this means he has to have deep-rooted…

At first glance the above Fatwas may seem contradictory, but after careful reflection you will be able to draw the following conclusions: 1➢- The Aṣl (origin) is to refrain from sitting with the people of innovation, in actualisation of the principle of Al-walaa' wal baraa' and saving oneself from falling prey to their doubts and wicked beliefs. There are many harms in sitting with Ahlul-Bid’ah and giving talks in…

Question: I read that Abū Dāwūd asked imām Aḥmad about a man who sits with the people of innovation, to which Aḥmad responded: maybe he is not aware of their condition, so inform him (of their condition), but if he persists, count him as one of them. The question is, how do we pass judgement on some of the du'aat who ascribe to Ahlus-Sunnah but they teach and lecture in masjids whose people have no Tamayyuz, despite…

Question: I used to visit the people of good and the ’Ulamā' and the Mashāyikh, but sometimes I visited the homes of people of bid’ah, and my intention for that was to call them to the path of happiness and to the path of the Sunnah. Is there any sin in this? Answer: In the name of Allāh, The Most Merciful, Bestower of Mercy. All praises belong to Allāh, and praise and peace be upon the Messenger of Allāh and upon…

Question: O Esteemed Sheikh may Allāh grant you success, this questioner from Britain says: we have some masjids in Britain that bring someone upon the manhaj of the Sunnah to teach people Tawheed or give a lecture concerning Tawheed, but the following day they bring a Sufi or an Ash'ari who teaches people Sufiyyah or Ash'ariyyah. Our question is, is it permissible for the Sunni da'ee to teach in these types of…

Question: If the innovators request that I go to their masjid to admonish them and give khuṭbahs, should I go, or refuse to go? Answer: No, don't refuse - if the people of innovation request you to give a reminder, khutbah or seminar in their masjid. However, you have to target the innovation that they are falling into by clarifying its harms using evidences from the Qur'ān and Sunnah, that perhaps Allāh guides…

There are four types of masjids in terms of giving lectures: 1⃣. Masjids of Ahlus-Sunnah. With these masjids, there is no issue whatsoever in attending, lecturing, admonishing and conducting classes therein. 2⃣. Masjids belonging to the common folks (’awām) who generally love khayr. Usually these type of masjids allow everyone to give talks as they are unable to distinguish between the different speakers. With…

As for official khuṭbas and lectures, this should only be in the masjids of Ahlus-Sunnah. Those who want khayr know where to go. And that which relates to reminders on the way, then this is from the means of da'wah which the Prophet ﷺ and the Salaf utilised.

{ فَٱسۡتَقِمۡ كَمَاۤ أُمِرۡتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ...الآية} “So be steadfast as you are commanded ˹O Prophet˺, along with those who turn ˹in submission to Allāh˺ with you.” [Sūrah Hūd: 112] It is incumbent upon us to remain steadfast, as we are among those who have turned ˹in submission to Allāh˺ along with the Prophet ﷺ. So we must follow his guidance and remain guidance as He ﷻ has commanded us. It is not right…

BENEFIT 53: Giving talks in the masjids of Ahlul-Bid’ah Fatwa of Sheikh Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh QUESTION: The imām of a ḥizbi masjid requests from one of the Salafi brothers to come to his masjid to give a Jumu’ah Khuṭbah, should he answer his request and go to him? ANSWER: No! Not unless they want it to be a masjid upon Sunnah, or a masjid run by Ahlus-Sunnah whereby they take charge of the masjid, establish the…

The ḥadīth ⤵️ ’Abdullāh ibn ’Amr said, “A man passed away in Madīnah and he was someone who was [actually] born there. The Prophet ﷺ performed the funeral prayer over him and then said, ‘Would that he had died somewhere else apart from his birthplace.’ So a man said, ‘Why, O Messenger of Allāh?’ He replied, ‘When a person dies somewhere which isn’t his birthplace a space is measured for him in Paradise [equal to…

BENEFIT 52: Two Sunnahs to implement when sending salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ Our teacher Dāris ḥafidhahullāh mentioned: “There are two Sunnahs that should be implemented when sending salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ: ▪️The first: To combine between Ṣalāh and Salām, as Allāh ﷻ instructed in His saying: { إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَتَهُۥ یُصَلُّونَ عَلَى ٱلنَّبِیِّۚ یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ صَلُّوا۟…

BENEFIT 51: Knowledge-based refutations (الردود العلمية) contain a great deal of knowledge Here's one example: Commonly, the comparative degree (Ism At-Tafḍhīl) is used to compare between two matters which share a common trait, however, one of them exceeds the other in this particular trait. For example: محمدٌ أطولُ من زينبَ Muḥammad is taller than Zainab The common trait here is height. So both are tall,…

That is if the person is from Ahlus-Sunnah. But if they are from the ḥizbiyyeen, people of corrupt ideologies and desires, who go against the people of truth, then they are to be left off - after advising them concerning that which they are upon. And Allāh knows best.” Source: https://t.me/bajmaal/3291

The point being, those from the people of knowledge who permitted Taṣwīr did so based on ijtihād; they saw it to be necessary and something beneficial. But in reality, the benefit is little, and people are unable to differentiate the upright scholar from the misguided scholar who leads people away from the straight path. Whatever the case, if someone is a person of Sunnah and he holds this view, that is his…

BENEFIT 49: Co-operating in Da'wah with those of Ahlus-Sunnah who see Taṣwīr to be permissible Sheikh Muḥammad Ba Jammāl ḥafidhahullāh said: “The issue of Taṣwīr is a serious matter and among the major sins; i.e. making images of living beings. The Prophet ﷺ informed that the image makers will be the most severely punished on the Day of Judgement. He also informed that every image maker will be in the Hellfire,…

During the explanation of his book, entitled: الجامع الفريد في مخالفات شهر رمضان والعيد Sheikh Muḥammad Ba Jammāl ḥafidhahullāh mentions the following: “The ninth mistake: Recording the Tarāwīḥ prayers...this is a munkar that must be warned against, especially as it has become a widespread fitnah amongst the Muslims, it is as though his deeds are unaccounted for unless he takes a picture/ records himself...Taṣwīr…

BENEFIT 48: He has changed his stance on the issue of Taṣwīr (image making); it's now ḥalāl?! Sheikh Muḥammad Bā Jammāl ḥafidhahullāh was asked about a person who changed his stance on Taṣwīr, so he answered: “He has opposed the evidences. The evidences are overwhelmingly against him. He should be asked, “What is your evidence? You used to say it's ḥarām, but now you say it's permissible, so what is your…

https://t.me/abdulhamid12/1069 ’Umar ibn ‘Abdil-‘Azīz was reported to have said: «قف حيث وقف القوم، فإنهم عن علم وقفوا، وببصر نافذ كفوا» “Stop where the people stopped (i.e. the Ṣaḥābah), for they stopped based on knowledge and restrained themselves due to deep insight...” [Ibn Rajab's Faḍl ‘Ilm as-Salaf, p. 36] Likewise, Imām Al-Awzā’ē (D 157 AH) raḥimahullāh said: «اصبر نفسك على السنة، وقف حيث وقف القوم، وقل…
