BENEFIT 271: Importance of Appointing a Ruler Over The Muslims
Sheikh Al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah states:
"يجب أن يُعرف أنّ ولاية أمرِ النّاسِ من أعظم واجباتِ الدّين؛
It must be known that having a leader over the affairs of people is one of the most greatest religious obligations;
بل لا قيامَ للدّين ولا للدنيا إلا بها.
Indeed, neither religion nor worldly matters can be established without it.
فإنَّ بني آدمَ لا تتم مصلحتُهم إلا بالاجتماعِ لحاجةِ بعضهم إلى…
BENEFIT 270: Offensive Jihad Comes With Two Conditions
Sheikh Fawzān ḥafidhahullāh states:
"Jihad (i.e. Offensive jihad) has conditions. First, Muslims must possess the strength and means to engage in combat with disbelievers. They should be equipped and prepared for such confrontation. If Muslims lack readiness, are in a weakened state, or if their opponents are significantly stronger, and fighting would result in severe harm to the Muslim community, then in such a…
BENEFIT 269: Tamayyuz Should Not Be Confused with Harshness
Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh said:
"Tamayyuz accompanied with kindness and gentleness is FAR BETTER than that which is accompanied with harshness and aggression. Kindness is not present in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it mars it. Moreover, kindness benefits both the da'ee and the recipient of the da'wah. It is also a characteristic of the…
Questioner: May Allah bestow goodness upon you, O Eminent Father سماحة الوالد. The questioner asks, 'What is the ruling on a young person addressing someone who raised him—but who is not his biologica
Sheikh Fawzān hafidahullah:
Ascribing oneself to someone other than one’s biological father is a major sin. Using such a term is inappropriate, as it mirrors the actions of those who ascribe themselves to someone other than their actual fathers. However, if the term is used purely out of respect and reverence—such as addressing an elder as 'father' or 'uncle,' or a scholar as 'father'—then this is acceptable as an…
BENEFIT 268: The teacher holds the position of a parent
In Jami’ As-Saheeh, Sheikh Muqbil includes the following chapter heading:
[٥٨ - المعلم يكون بمنزلة الوالد]
[58 - The Teacher Holds the Position of a Parent]
Within this chapter, he cites the following ḥadīth:
٩٧ - قال الإمام أبو داود رحمه الله (ج ١ ص ٢٧): حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد النفيلي قال حدثنا ابن المبارك عن محمد بن عجلان عن القعقاع بن حكيم عن أبي صالح عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله…
The advice of our Father, Al-Murabbi, Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh
“We urge our brothers in other centers, I don't mean in Yemen only, but inside and outside Yemen, to be cooperative, to be allied with one another, to be serious, to seek the help of Allāh Almighty in cultivating the Muslim society upon brotherhood as best as they possibly can.
I swear by Allāh, I strongly rebuke many of the brothers who return to their countries and begin disputing with their Sunni brothers, and…
Dealing with the rulers
Sheikh At-Tahiri states:
The Arab Autumn (i.e. Arab spring) came, distinguishing those who remain steadfast from those who waver. Among our scholars, some issued fatwas prohibiting demonstrations, consistently ruling them as impermissible...he was asked about the demonstrations in Egypt against Hosni Mubarak, he ruled them impermissible. When Morsi came to power and he was asked again, his…
Praise of Salafi scholars
Host: Briefly, what have the Salafis contributed over the past fifty or sixty years since the Nakba? I believe it’s now been around sixty-five or seventy-five years. What have the Salafis done for the Palestinian cause?
Sheikh: There is a book by Sheikh Saleem Al-Hilali titled
السلفيون والقضية الفلسطينية
'The Salafis and the Palestinian Cause,' which is an excellent book. It…
Accompanying innovators
Host: Currently, some of the extremists within Salafi circles are quick to exclude others from Salafiyyah, even over a picture. For example, if today we attended a wedding together and someone from another group joined us, and a photo was taken of you smiling at the event, they might claim, “Look, Dr. Abu Salah is accompanies so-and-so; therefore, Sheikh Abu Salah must endorse him.”…
Advising misguided groups
Host: What is the Salafi approach in terms of advising existing groups, including Hizbi groups, must they be advised? Since these groups are now an established and influential part of society and have an impact on Islamic outreach, so it is essential to consider how to offer them guidance effectively.
Sheikh: Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allāh have mercy on him, continued to advise everyone up…
Giving Talks at Hizbi Organisations
Host: I conclude the final three second with this question: If some of the Hizbi groups or organisations invites you to give a lesson or lecture without imposing any conditions on you, offering you a platform to teach for them, would you go, Dr. Abu Salah?
Sheikh: Certainly, I would NOT go, as they might exploit the name, saying, "If we were misguided, so-and-so would not have…
His view on Hizbiyyah (partisanship)
Host: Let's address some of these issues, weigh them, and present the Salafi perspective—traced through an unbroken chain back to the Prophet ﷺ. The first issue here is Hizbiyyah. There are those who have adopted the Salafi Manhaj and the Salafi Aqeedah on matters such as the Divine Names and Attributes, and they have studied foundational texts in Tawheed and other related…

Honourable Sheikh, if we say that the scholars who endorsed Ihya At-Turath were unaware of its true condition, does this resemble the Hizbees’ accusation that our scholars lack insight into contemporary issues?
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh responds:
No, this is not correct. Among the scholars, some are well-informed of certain matters, while others may not…
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh said:
The term "tamyee‘" is currently in common use. Some people display no clear stance; when they are with Hizbees, they align with them, and when they are with Ahlus-Sunnah, they align with them—such individuals are two-faced. Those in this situation are sometimes referred to by later scholars as "mumayyi‘" (1) (someone who waters down), as they are unstable, neither firmly adhering to…
BENEFIT 265: Is it correct to say that each scholar has their own version of Salafiyyah and "I follow the Salafiyyah of so-and-so"?
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
Salafiyyah is one and the same; it is the religion of the Lord of the worlds. As stated in the Qur'an:
{وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا}
"And whoever opposes the Messenger after guidance has become clear to him and follows a path other than…
...As for the new phase of the university, which the journalist claimed began during the period when the university’s core mission was being undermined, it is, in reality, a period of decline and agin
...It is regrettable that Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University has suffered the same fate as the Islamic University. This university, which is well-established in this country, graduated its first cohort in 1376 AH, among whom was Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ghudayyan (may Allah have mercy on him). The vast majority of judges and scholars in this country are graduates of this…
BENEFIT 264: Why do I sense a feeling of discomfort when Madinah University and the likes are criticised?!
NOTE: Madinah is indeed a blessed land; however, this blessing does not extend to everything and everyone within it.
Imam Malik reported in "Al-Muwatta" (4/1117) from Yahya ibn Sa'eed, who narrated that Abu Darda wrote to Salman Al-Farsi, saying: "Come to the holy land." Salman replied:
((إن الأرض لا تقدس أحدا وإنما يقدس الإنسان عمله))
"The land does not sanctify anyone; rather, it is a person's deeds that…
NOTE: This advice from Abdurahman Al-Adeni was given when he was upright, before he initiated the Fitnah in Yemen. His words reflect a genuine sense of concern for the students and jealousy for the De
The reality is that the Islamic University (in Madinah) was once one of the most prominent academic institutions in the world, producing and graduating distinguished scholars. However, in recent times, the university has fallen under the influence of many Hizbees, including directors, teachers, and professors. One cannot be assured of attending a lecture or summer programme without encountering instructors who hold…
Sheikh Yahya's advice ⬆️ about studying at Madina University did not sit well with Ubaid Al-Jabiri, prompting him to involve himself in the Fitnah in Yemen during that time. Ubaid then aligned himself
ويا إخوان الشيء واضح واضح، الطيور على أشكالها حسن بل قد قال رسول الله ﷺ «الأرواح جنود مجندة ما تآلف منها اتلف، وما تناكر منها اختلف».
The Sheikh ḥafidhahullāh said:
"We do not claim that everyone studying there is categorically a Hizbi. Rather, we acknowledge that among them are both Hizbees and Salafees. There are teachers who adhere to the Sunnah, people of knowledge, as well as Salafi students who are devoted and strive to uphold this tradition. Nevertheless, we have observed that those from Ahlus-Sunnah studying there have fallen into two…
