Jamaa'ah At-Tableegh

1. Wasaa'il Ad-Da'wah (the means for propagating Da'wah) are Tawqeefiyyah (confined to the evidences), meaning, it is not allowed for anyone to introduce any means for propagating Da'wah, whether it be fundraising for a masjid or other than that from affairs related to worship. This is what the scholars mean when they say: وسائل الدعوة توقيفية! 🔺Note: 'Waseelah' is the actual method used in conveying, teaching,…

Some of the brothers from Thailand asked me about a practice in their country where, after Jumu'ah prayers, some masjids pass around a box between the worshippers, and they contribute money to it. Some give, while others do not, but it gets passed by all the worshippers. Is this action permissible? I answer, with the help of Allāh, that this action is not permissible. Whoever wishes to give charity should do so…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidahullah: Directing [people] to good is something permissible; it's acceptable to direct those who one sees to be a good-doer towards performing good. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said, "The one who directs to good will have the reward of the one who acts upon it." However, using masjids for begging and similar purposes is something scholars disapprove of. It's only common with…

Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari ḥafidhahullāh: There is no harm in directing [people] to goodness in order to establish those masjids and prayer halls in non-Muslim and polytheist countries. This is part of elevating the word of Allāh and cooperating in righteousness and piety. The one who directs to goodness will have the reward of the one who acts upon it. However, they should not follow the Hizbee approach of…

Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidahullah: This is wrong. I don't advise with this. This is not appropriate and does not reflect what you all know to be from the Salafi Da‘wah. Making announcements saying "we want this", "we need this", "such and such masjid requires such and such". This (public announcements) is not our way of Da'wah. We neither know [of this approach] nor do we allow anyone to undertake this in our name. We…

The esteemed Sheikh Muhammad Amān Al-Jami - may Allah have mercy on him - stated: «وأقل ما يصاب به الطالب الذى يطلب العلم على أيدي المبتدعة؛ أن تخرج من قلبه كراهة البدع والمعاصى والمخالفات، ويفقد واجب الحب في الله والبغض في الله، ولا يبالي جالس سنياً أو مبتدعاً، وإنما الحكم عنده لما يظنهُ مصلحةً للدعوة، يدور معه حيث دار، والله المستعان، وذلك من علامات مرض القلب الذى يؤدى إلى نوع من النفاق عياذاً بالله» "The…

Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah said: The criterion for Hizbiyyah is characterised through narrow allegiance and disavowal, and it is indeed an innovation. How could it not be an innovation when it is a novelty and a [cause for] division. Meanwhile, Allah Almighty says, "And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided." And He says, "Indeed this, your religion, is one religion, and I am…

You had the likes of Abu Bilal al-Hadhrami, who teaches valuable lessons in grammar in Dammaj and others who are proficient. Despite that they say, "We have no one to teach us," So my brothers in Islam, if you only have these blessed websites, which provide you with audio material, it suffices, by Allah, it is abundant and beneficial enough for you not to seek knowledge from people of…

Sheikh 'Abdurraqeeb Al-Kawkabani rahimahullah said: ‟It is not permissible based on what you have heard from the Āthār warning against them. My brother in Islam, they inject poison (I.e. their corrupt ideology) into honey (I.e. the Islamic sciences), and even if a man teaches you mathematics or medicine while holding a corrupt belief, he can subtly incorporate it into his teaching. I remind my brothers that…

Sheikh Yūsuf Gharāmah ḥafidhahullāh said: ‟As for the hadith, "the disagreement of my nation is a mercy," this is a hadith that cannot be deemed weak or fabricated; rather, it has no basis! Sheikh Al-Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "The researchers exerted effort to trace a basis or chain for this hadith, but they did not succeed." Al-Munāwi reported from As-Subuki that he said: "I have not come…

قال الشيخ العثيمين رحمه الله: سنة الخلفاء الراشدين إذا خالفت سنته (أي الرسول ﷺ) فإنها لا تتبع. The esteemed scholar Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah stated: "If the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs contradicts the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), then it is not to be followed."

Shaykh Yahya Al-Hajoori—may Allāh preserve him— was asked, as mentioned in Al-Ḥullah Al-Bahiyyah bil ijābah ’an as'ilah Al-Jazā'iriyyah (Question No. 24): Question: During Ramaḍhān, Salafis differ regarding the issue of Tarāwīḥ prayer. Some perform it in their local masājid behind an innovator, others choose to pray at home, stating, "I do not pray behind an innovator under any circumstance," while some travel…

Sheikh Yayhya hafidahullah was asked: We would like advice from our Sheikh for the Salafi youth in the Taaribah region, knowing that there are Hizbi groups in the masjid, and they face pressures and cannot engage in da'wah as is required. He hafidahullah answered: «إن استطاعوا أن يجعلوا لهم مسجدًا ولو مما تيسر فعلوا، حتى لا يصيرون تحت ضغوط الحزبيين، وحتى تنتشر دعوتهم السلفية بإذن الله عز وجل بالتميز وبالتصفية…

Sheikh Muqbil Al-Wadi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: «فعلى هذا فإن استطعت أن تنحّيه وتصلي أو يصلى رجل سنيّ فعلت، وإن لم تستطع فننصح بالصلاة في مسجد آخر من مساجد السنة، فإن لم تستطيعوا، وكان لديكم المقدرة على بناء مسجد فالأفضل أن تبنوا لكم مسجدًا، حتى تستطيعوا أن تقيموا سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. ولن تقام سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم إلا بالتميّز، فإذا لم يتيسر لا ذا، ولا ذاك أي:…

[The questioner] says, esteemed sheikh, may Allah grant you success, this is a question from one of the imams of the masjids in Europe. He mentions that he works in the masjid where innovations are widespread, and the authorities in this masjid invite people to these innovations. Is it permissible for him to remain as the imam of this masjid? Sheikh Fawzān: If he is not capable of preventing the spread of such…

Questioner: Esteemed Sheikh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: "In our country, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs orders us to perform innovations after the five daily prayers, and the imams are instructed to do so. If the imam does not perform these innovations, he is dismissed from his position. Some imams from Ahlus-Sunnah perform these innovations while believing them to be…
