BENEFIT: Does Differing Within the Salafi Manhaj Take a Person Out?
Question:
If people differ within the framework of the Salafi manhaj, does that mean they have left the saved sect?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah:
Disagreement in issues where differences are allowed has always existed among scholars. It is rare to find a fiqh issue on which there is complete consensus. Most issues contain differing opinions among the scholars of guidance and Sunnah. One scholar may favour…

How to Repent from Backbiting
Question:
A woman who has been granted success in following the Salafi manhaj asks: “All praise is for Allah, but I feel great pain because I committed many sins of backbiting in the past. I used to speak badly about people, but now I want to repent. I have heard that one of the conditions of repentance is to seek forgiveness from the people involved. However, if I do that, it may…
Question:
We have sorcerers who harm people with their magic. Is it permissible for young people to kill them if they are sure there will be no fitnah (trial or chaos)?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah:
They should not go and kill them. Rather, I remind myself and them with the words of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: “And they cannot harm anyone with it except by Allah’s permission…” [Al-Baqarah 2:102]

BENEFIT: Enjoining Good and Rejecting Evil Is Not Rebellion Against the Ruler When Done Without Fitnah
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said:
It is not considered rebellion against the ruler to reject or condemn any wrongdoing that goes against the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, as long as it is done without incitement, without causing chaos or fitnah, and without any form of uprising, revolt, or attempt to overthrow authority.

Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said:
Taqlīd means following someone who is not a hujjah/proof, without hujjah/proof. This is not permissible.
As for what you may see in the words of Ibn Al-Qayyim, as transmitted by Ibn ‘Abdil-Barr or others, that “the scholars agreed that the blind follower is not a scholar,” the meaning is: in the issue in which he blindly followed others.
For example, a person may be…
BENEFIT: 'Awaam Should Not be Allowed to Have the Final Say in Da'wah Related Matters
This is an advice from Shaykh Yahya ibn Ali Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah from his lesson on Al-Adab Al-Mufrad of Imam Al-Bukhari rahimahullah, during his commentary on Hadith no. 919.
In it, our noble Shaykh spoke about:
Understanding and wisdom in da‘wah, and that part of proper understanding in da‘wah is protecting and preserving the da‘wah itself.
▪️From proper understanding in da‘wah is being keen on brotherhood…
Innovation of Khurooj (As Jama’at Tablīgh Often Practices It) – Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan
Shaykh Salih Al-Fawzan said:
“As for that which they now call ‘Khurooj’ (as the Tableeghis claim when they go out for da‘wah), then this is an innovation. It has not been reported from the Salaf.
A person going out to call to Allah is not restricted to specific days. Rather, he calls to Allah according to his capability, without restricting it to a group, forty days, or any lesser or greater period.
Likewise, it…

BENEFIT: Hearing and Understanding the Qur'an Removes the Excuse of Ignorance
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said:
“Whoever hears the Qur'an being recited in a clear and understandable way — through the radio or any other means — then the proof has reached him, and he is not ignorant of the Book of Allah. It cannot be said that he is ignorant as long as he has HEARD it, it became CLEAR to him, and he UNDERSTOOD it. Nor can it be said that he is excused because of ignorance.
Rather,…

If a scholar of Ahlusunnah has made a verdict that Y is an innovator, then after that, students of the Y continue to take knowledge from him, without a conclusive argument to refute the scholar's knowledge-based verdict, is the students considered as innovators?

BENEFIT: Consensus is Not Required Before Declaring Someone an Innovator

Some people say that before applying the rule, ‘Whoever does not declare an innovator to be an innovator is himself an innovator,’ there must first be consensus (ijmā‘). Is this condition correct?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah:

Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said:
Sahih hadiths have different levels, including “Sahih li Ghayrihi” and “Hasan li Ghayrihi.” As for dismissing hadiths that are considered “Hasan li Ghayrihi,” this is very strongly criticised. Anyone who only accepts hadiths that are Sahih li Dhatihi or Hasan li Dhatihi would end up rejecting many well-established hadiths on which there is scholarly consensus and…
Question:
Who are the Dhāhiriyyah, and does the disagreement of Ibn Hazm and the Dhāhiriyyah invalidate scholarly consensus (ijmāʿ) in fiqh?
Sheikh Abu 'Amr Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah:
The Dhāhiriyyah were followers of Dawud Adh-Dhahiri, and Ibn Hazm followed this approach as well. They held tightly to the apparent wording of the texts and became very literal in their understanding.
Ibn Kathir said in Al-Bidayah…
