BENEFIT 140: Falsely accusing Ahlus-Sunnah of Haddadiyyah
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
"...It is worth noting that the term "Haddadiyyah" has become a deceptive weapon often used by various people against sincere advisors from Ahlus-Sunnah, attaching this label to them as a means of defaming them, while they are innocent of this description. You find that when a sincere advisor comes and advises, clarifying the errors of the misguided and the mistakes of…
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar'abi hafidahullah said:
"He (Muhammad Shams ud-Deen) is a Hadadadi, takfeeri, an ignorant pretender who excommuicated Imam Al-Nawawi from Islam rahimahullah. He considers Ibn Hajar rahimahullah to be an innovator and holds Ash'aris to be disbelievers...He was asked about Imam An-Nawawi, to which he said: “He is one of them (I.e. The Ash'aris), and so if the Ash'aris are disbelievers then he…
Questioner: May Allah bless you. Who are the Haddadiyyah? And what are the traits of the Haddadis so we can avoid them?
Sheikh Yusuf al-Jaza'iri:
"Haddadiyyah is a term referring to extremists. Haddad was among the extremists and some people followed him in that, so they were ascribed to Haddadiyyah. Otherwise, Haddadiyyah are among the extremists who exaggerated in passing judgment on individuals and…
BENEFIT 139: Students of knowledge are not allowed to refute anyone unless preceded by a scholar?!
Questioner: Has any scholar preceded you in your refutation?
Sheikh Yusuf al-Jazaa'iri:
You firstly need to validate this principle; that one does not refute an individual unless they have been preceded by a scholar. You need to prove this principle and cite evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah validating it before setting this as a requirement.
I am not refuting the likes of Imam Ash-Shafi'i or a prominent…
BENEFIT 138: People should only consult local scholars about contemporary issues affecting their community as they are more knowledgeable regarding them?!
Questioner: As determined in Usool Al-Fiqh, it is necessary for the mufti/scholar who issues fatwas on contemporary affairs or other jurisprudential issues to be knowledgeable about the conditions of the people of the country. This means, for example, that someone in Saudi Arabia cannot issue a fatwa for Algeria.
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh:
The statement you mentioned is not accurate at all because…
BENEFIT 137: Stubborn rejection of the evidence is a reason to be boycotted
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said:
"...If it is established that this is not an issue of ijtihād, based on the previous criterion, this means that opposition in this matter after clarification is harmful. That is why you find Sheikh Rabee' mentioning from the oppositions of Abul Hasan against the Salafi principles the issue of free-mixing. He said: "...and your stubbornness in the issue of free-mixing, as…
BENEFIT 136: What is the criterion for determining issues of ijtihad (مسائل الاجتهاد)?
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh says (slightly paraphrased)
"...Firstly, deeming this (teaching/working in free-mixed environments) to be an issue of ijtihād is disputable, because issues of ijtihad have been determined by scholars, such as Sheikhul Islam, Ash-Shinqiti, among others, to refer to: Issues lacking clear text, apparent evidence, and definitive consensus; these are the issues categorised as مسائل…
BENEFIT 136: What is our stance towards those of Ahlus-Sunnah (like Sheikh Luhaidan) who allow tasweer?
Sheikh Albani rahimahullah clarifies below when this matter comes under the category of ijtihaad and when it doesn't:
"...We are still not able to say that these people are astray. But, we only say: perhaps he made ijtihaad (he strove to reach the truth) but missed the mark; that is as long as he remains with us, following the Qur'aan and Sunnah. As for those who may state clearly that they are not seeking the…
BENEFIT 135: Digital images cannot be compared to a mirror
Shaykh al-Albaanee rahimahullah said:
"...You were saying what is the difference between the reflection in the mirror and television or video? We say the difference is very much. We say to you now: stand in the mirror; come now and give me the image which you saw in the mirror. You are not able to do so. But, if it was given permanent form, it would become like a video and be forbidden. The harm comes from it…
"Thus, tasweer in all its forms is prohibited due to the general evidence mentioned earlier, and excluding an aspect of it [from the general prohibition] requires specific evidence. Whenever something is labeled as a "صورة", it becomes impermissible. Is the matter clear? Whoever claims that a certain type is permissible or impermissible must provide evidence to support their stance. If they label it as tasweer, then…
BENEFIT 134: If you see a video of a scholar online, don't just assume that they permit tasweer!
O Sheikh, what is the ruling regarding Tasweer using a mobile camera?
Sheikh Wasee'ullah Abbas waffaqahullah:
"This matter is very clear! The ruling on photography, my brother, is that all types of pictures have been prohibited by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. On the day of judgement, the one who takes a picture will be tasked with breathing life into it and bringing it to life, which they are not capable of. Therefore,…
"Dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali is not known for Salafiyyah"...that's basically what Sheikh 'Abdulhameed is alluding to; which is a fair and honest response for someone who is unaware of this man's true conditi
However, if we brush off the surface and dig a little deeper, we find some serious issues which should make us cautious of this man.
Let's give some examples:
1⃣. There's a clip where he speaks about one of the Attributes of Allah, but rather than clarifying the correct creed with relation to this Attribute, he relays the different opinions as though he is discussing an issue of Fiqh, leaving the listener under…
BENEFIT 133: Salafiyyah is like the scent of a perfume
Sheikh 'Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullah said:
“Salafiyyah is like a perfume which makes one smell good. The more obvious one's Salafiyyah is, the stronger the scent that emanates from them.”
The Sheikh mentioned these wise words in response to a question about Dr. Sa'eed Al-Kamali (from Morocco)

After seeing the EVIDENCES prohibiting tasweer, the one who adopts this view will realise that it carries some implications:
1⃣. One cannot attend lectures/classes involving tasweer
https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/417
2⃣. One cannot attend wedding ceremonies involving tasweer
https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/418
3⃣. One cannot give a lecture in a venue involving tasweer
https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/419
4⃣. One…
I'm amazed at those people who create videos of scholars and stick their pictures on the background. Are they not afraid of the Curse of Allah? Are they not afraid of the scholars du'a against them?
Host: Many students of knowledge say that Tasweer is an issue of differing?!
Sheikh Fawzan: They want to turn everything into an issue of differing. [What matters is] who is the evidence with?
It is with the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ:
((كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ))
“Every picture-maker will be in the Fire.”
((إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُصَوِّرُونَ))
“The people who will receive…
