Manhaj Benefits

Sheikh ’Uthaymeen raḥimahullāh says: "We often repeat the saying of some of the Salaf: «لو يعلم الملوك وأبناء الملوك ما نحن فيه لجالدونا عليه بالسيوف» “If kings and the sons of kings knew what we experience, they would fight us for it with swords.” Allāh is great! If you were to ask the people of this world, "Who experiences the greatest joy?" They would say, "The kings and the sons of kings." This is true, but…

Question: Many beneficial books of scholars are sometimes checked/verified by unknown individuals or misguided individuals from Ahlul-Bid’ah. So, how should a student of knowledge approach this? Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: The student should utilise the book and benefit from it, as it would be unreasonable to abandon the book entirely simply because it bears the name of a such and such person…

Al-Ḥāfidh Ibn Ḥajar raḥimahullāh states: «إن الذي يتصدى لضبط الوقائع من الأقوال والأفعال والرجال، يلزمه التحري في النقل، فلا يجزم إلا بما يتحققه، ولا يكتفي بالقول الشائع، ولا سيما إن ترتب على ذلك مفسدة من الطعن في حق أحد من أهل العلم والصلاح، وإن كان في الواقعة أمرٌ فادح، سواء كان قولاً أو فعلاً أو موقفًا في حق المستور، فينبغي أن لا يبالغ في إفشائه، ويكتفي بالإشارة؛ لئلا يكون وقعت منه فلتة؛ ولذلك يحتاج المسلم أن…

Sheikh ’Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh states: I swear by Allāh, if you were to enter a village and explain the Da'wah (Salafiyyah) without clashing with them and without speaking against any of them, this approach hurts them (the opponents of the Da'wah) more than if you confronted them directly. Sheikh Muqbil used to say, "Not everything we say on the chair (i.e. during classes) should be shared with the…

Question: Is it permissible to boycott a close relative if they are a person of innovation? Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: Yes, they are to be boycotted, with the exception of the mother and father, and grandmother and grandfather.

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh writes: عجبت من سلفي يبقي رقم حزبي أو مفتون في هاتفه ويبقى ينظر حالته وهو ينتفخ فاحذف أرقام المبتدعة والمفتونين من هاتفك وتميز ميزك الله. أين أنت من قول الله تعالى (فأعرض عمن تولى عن ذكرنا)؟ أبو محمد الزُّعكري ٤ جمادى الأولى ١٤٤٦ "I am astonished by a Salafi who saves the number of a Hizbi or a misguided person in his phone, frequently checking their status as they…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: As a benefit, the advisor is: (1) required to possess knowledge of the matter he is advising on, (2) to be gentle in his approach, (3) to follow the example of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. (4) His goal should be to guide people rather than to seek praise or attract a following. Similarly, the one receiving advice must be open to the truth and not dismissive, for if a…

Question: He asks whether teaching should be concise or in a detailed manner. Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: The method of teaching should be appropriate to the situation. The origin with primary texts/mutoon is to focus on presenting the good and knowledge within them without taking prolonging or excessive elaboration. Whereas the origin with explanations/shurooh is that they may take some time,…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: This is not in the absolute sense! If the images are of women, it is not permissible to look at them. Similarly, it is not permissible to look at images of young, beardless boys (murdan), according to the view of the pious predecessors and As-habul hadith, due to the fitnah such images may provoke. If the images are incidental, it is advisable to avoid them. The…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: Scholars make such a judgment based on certain characteristics known to them, such as their restricted walaa' wal baraa', narrow-minded partisanship, adherence to specific groups and ideologies, deviations, seeking nearness to Allāh through lies, deception, and trickery, among others. Some people openly declare themselves as a party or group, as Muhammad Suroor did when…

He says, "Why doesn't Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan dye his beard?" Sheikh: Is dyeing the beard obligatory? It is not obligatory. In fact, some scholars say that the Prophet ﷺ did not dye [his hair]. What is the matter with you may Allāh guide you? If you wish to criticise, then criticise something that actually contradicts the Sharī‘ah, not something that does not contradict it. Allāh alone knows what is in your heart…
