BENEFIT 155: Response to those who deny/cast doubts regarding the punishment of the grave
The questioner asks: What is the response to those who cast doubts regarding the punishment of the grave?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajuri hafidhahullah:
"Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, companions, and those who follow his guidance.
After praising Allah, the response to them is based on the Qur'ān and the Sunnah. The Qur'ān confirms the punishment of the grave, as…
Shatibi Institute is based in WLICC which was formerly known as Al Muntada mosque. Al Muntada Trust is based there still and they are upon the same manhaj.
The masjid was established by Muhammad Suroor and in recent times their main Imam has been none other than Haitham al Haddad
In addition to this, they invite people like Ahmad Al Ma'sarawy and praise him, from the heads of the khawarij in Egypt. One of their…
So I advise you to stay far away from these individuals! And perhaps someone may say: So then who should we study under? So my response is: I hold that it is an obligation on our noble brothers in the
Therefore I say: It is an obligation to turn our attention to the Quraan and the Sunnah. As for the lectures of the innovators, then you will see them stampeding and ramming (like wild beats) in their lectures, but then when they finish, they say: We have a project for establishing an educational center. And this educational center is in the district of Daleel.
So I advise the brothers may Allaah preserve them to…
So I advise the mashaayikh to recant form their approvals (tazkiyaat), for Allaah says in His Noble Book: And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Verily, Allaah does not like anyon
And He says: Have you not seen those who claim sanctity for themselves (i.e. given themselves tazkiyahs). Nay, but Allah sanctifies whom He wills. And they will not be dealt with unjustly, even equal to the extent of a fateel (small thread). [Surah An-Nisaa: 49]
And He says in His Glorious Book: So do not purify (give tazkiyah to) yourselves, He knows best who has Taqwaa. [Surah An-Najm: 13]
And they use this…
BENEFIT 154: Cooperating and Working with Al-Muntadaa Al-Islaamee
Shaykh al-'Allaamah Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee mentioned in Tuhfah Al-Mujeeb (pg. 143-147) [Original source is a tape - Questions from England, recorded on Ramadaan 13, 1416H]
Question: There is a group amongst us (in Britain) called Muntadaa Al-Markaz Al-Islaamee. They are connected with Muhammad Suroor and they sell his books and interact with him. And they have a tazkiyah (approval/recommendation) from Shaikh…
I ask Allah to allow them to accept and rectify the matter.

I remind the student who wrote this email with the following:
There's great joy that comes with commanding good and forbidding evil. Sometimes you may experience part of this joy in this Dunya when you see your advice being accepted and put into practice. The Prophet ﷺ described this joy saying:
((تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ))
"That is the glad…
I heard about this institute from some of the brothers, but never looked into it.
The points mentioned in this email draw serious question marks about this institute, and if these matters are indeed true, I encourage advising them (as they may not be aware). If they have been advised and persist, then you should avoid attending.

BENEFIT 152: The conditions of Abu Hanifah, Ibn Hajar, An-Nawawi, etc.
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on those who declare Abu Hanifa, Ibn Hajar, and other scholars as disbelievers?
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajuri, may Allah preserve him, says:
I don't know what is intended by 'others', but declaring Abu Hanifa as a disbeliever is not permissible. Abu Hanifa is a Muslim. He is one of the four Imams. Yes, he had irjaa', qiyas - I.e. he heavily relied on qiyas, and ra'yi. However,…
An example of this is 'Abdul-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman; Imam Shu'ba labeled him as (الميزان), and the term "الميزان" among the Hadith scholars is one of the highest degrees of trustworthiness, i.e., he i

Imam Shu'ba said if he made a mistake like this, he would cancel him out, even though he was a distinguished imam. If you look at the narrations transmitted by 'Abdul-Malik ibn Abi Sulayman, they are in the thousands. How can you abandon…
BENEFIT 151: Mistakes vary in severity, they are not all on the same level!
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jazaa'iri ḥafidhahullāh said (slightly paraphrased):
"Those who opposes the truth are not all equal.
1st CATEGORY:
There are those who oppose the truth yet we have respect for them, and their dignity remains intact. This is someone who does not oppose the fundamental principles of Ahlus-Sunnah, but rather he opposes in issues of ijtihād. What is the criterion for issues of ijtihād? It is matters…
The Prophet ﷺ said about him, and the hadith is authentic and collected in Sahih Al-Musnad, "He (Zaid) will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection as an Ummah by himself." Why? Because he was in li
BENEFIT 150: Adhere to the daleel even if those around you oppose you!
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
[Allāh ﷻ said]
{اتبعوا ما أنزل إليكم من ربكم ولا تتبعوا من دونه أولياء}
"Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord, and do not follow besides Him any allies." We are commanded to follow the evidence, to follow the revelation, because the revelation is infallible. "And do not follow besides Him any allies," because allies - other than the prophets - are not…

A scholar of this calibre is coming to visit us in UK, but rather than celebrate the good news, some are casting doubts regarding the Sheikh's manhaj. As such, I'd like to share two links for such ikhwa to reflect on and advise them not to be an obstacle in the path of those who wish to benefit from this…
BENEFIT 148: Is it permissible for a Muslim residing in non-Muslim lands to work as a policeman without being an accomplice to wrongdoing, such as working in traffic police or with those who pursue cr
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, answered:
No, he should not be a soldier for the disbelievers. A Muslim should not be a soldier for the disbelievers because he would be under their authority and executing their orders, so this is not permissible for him. However, if he works in a non-police job like construction, tailoring, or in a factory, etc., there is no harm in that.

BENEFIT 147: Being around the Kuffar is worse than sitting with innovators
Sheikh Yahya Al-Hajuri hafidahullah said:
"This is the requirement of adhering to the straight path: opposing the people of Hellfire, refraining from associating with them and being influenced by them.
[The Prophet ﷺ said] "The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the seller of musk and the one who blows the blacksmith's bellows." This hadith is agreed upon.
And there is no worse…
BENEFIT 146: Bid'ah is of 2 types (mufassiqah and mukaffirah), and the 72 sects threatened with Hellfire fall under the first type (mufassiqah)
Sheikh Yahya al-Hajoori, may Allah preserve him, said:
"Regarding the phrase "Hayya 'ala Khayr al-'Amal" (come to the best of deeds) in the Adhan, this person has innovation with him but not one that leads takes him out of the fold of Islam, as well as similar innovations that are mufassiqah (a minor type of innovation that DOES NOT removes a person from the fold of Islam) - not mukaffirah (a major type of…
Summarised points from the answer of Sheikh Muhammad Al-'Ansi hafidahullah:
٠ Elections are a product of democracy. It is a Western system unrelated to Islam. It has nothing to do with Islamic governance, even those who promote it acknowledge that it is a system derived from the West.
٠ Participating in elections is considered sinful, as it is imitating the practices of the disbelievers and signifies endorsement…

BENEFIT 144: The scholars who allow voting are wrong!
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah said:
"Whoever issues a fatwa permitting participation in parliamentary elections or presidential elections, is not correct, and most likely they are not callers to the Sunnah.
When Sheikh Ibn Baz, Sheikh Uthaymeen, and Sheikh Al-Albani, may Allah have mercy on them, issued fatwas allowing voting (in Algeria), due to what the questioners portrayed, making it seem like…

BENEFIT 141: Can someone be removed from Salafiyyah based on a fiqhi issue?
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
"Sheikh Rabee' included the issue of free-mixing among the fundamental principles violated by Abul Hasan, due to his stubbornness in this; because stubbornness takes the issue out of being purely fiqhi. Rather, Sheikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh as mentioned in Majmu' al-Fatawa, stated that a person may be removed from the fold of Ahlul-Sunnah if he pledges…
