What is the ruling on Salafiyyah, and is it a party?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The one who tells you that the groups existing now have a ruling in Islam. Salafiyyah is among them. Salafiyyah, my brothers. Salafiyyah
The Shaykh : I told you that Salafiyyah is not considered a party, and the reality is that Salafiyyah is broad enough to encompass all groups and all parties, but no one of these parties is broad enough to encompass it. You should know that a party is formed by a person who establishes a methodology, system, and law for it, and so on, and obliges people to follow it. And among the implications of this obligation is that they hostilities toward those who are not with them. And the conduct here naturally has levels and degrees.
As for the Salafi call, at the time that it does not recognize all these parties because they contradict the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it nonetheless opens its door to every Muslim, regardless of his affiliation. And if he responds, he will become a Muslim in the true sense, and they will submit, meaning to the rulings of Allah and His Messenger.
And there is no group on the Islamic earth today that belongs to a party and adopts the Salafi methodology, because they know that this methodology does not align with their methodology. So they share with us in that they know, as we know, that the Salafi methodology does not align with their methodologies. But the difference between us and them is that we believed in our methodology and disbelieved in the methodology of the others, whereas those people believed in their methodologies, and I do not say they disbelieved, but I say they did not believe in our methodology. And here it is permissible for me to say that this difference between us is sufficient, and every vessel emits what is in it, and beware of that, if Allah wills.
The presenter : Abu Muhammad, we used to talk with him if there were some of his brothers in al-Tafila. Yes, that is right, meaning we talk on a phone number with people so that when we go there, we can see them and meet with them.
The Shaykh : Take it and talk with him, but I do not advise you to be the first to be hostile to you, so you must take your precautions.
The presenter : Your advice, our Shaykh, in this journey.
The Shaykh : Let us see what happens before it is time to sleep.
The presenter : Yes. Fine. Our Shaykh, do you remember this book?
The Shaykh : If our brothers, meaning did you intend that your word did not express it?
The presenter : Yes.
The Shaykh : If that were the case, I would tell you not to contact him.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good. Fine, our Shaykh, your advice, if Allah wills, in this journey, for us and for our brother.
The Shaykh : By Allah, our advice is first the conveying, and not the conveying of the Tabligh Jama'ah. Yes. Meaning, speak with knowledge and then with gentleness, and not with the gentleness of the Tabligh Jama'ah either. Because their gentleness is accompanied by a lot of compromise, if not hypocrisy. And perhaps you have known that some of their heads, or those who lead them over some of them, entered a village where there was an idol that they circled around, a grave, meaning, so he circled with them. He considered it a means to draw the hearts of the people of the village to him. So you combine the call with wisdom and good admonition,
The presenter : May Allah bless you. Yes. May Allah
The Shaykh : And if you are able to do that, then do so. Yes.
The presenter : You have Brother Ali the Shaykh. By Allah, this is comprehensive speech, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah for success for you.
The presenter : Of course, our brother Khalid is faster in attending so that he hears the advice in his ear.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you all with good.
The presenter : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : It will be that you are not the third of your driver.
The presenter : Allah. May Allah bless you. We ask Allah not to honor us. Good, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe, may Allah reward you with good from strength and from blessing.
The presenter : Allah.
The Shaykh : In the path of the call, and thus the stature of the call is established, one by speech like my speech, one
The presenter : Yes, speech.
The Shaykh : One by action.
The presenter : May Allah give you drink.
The Shaykh : Your speech, and another by money like your speech, and so on.
The presenter : That is enough, that is enough.
The Shaykh : And the effort, of course, of the others, everyone according to his measure, Abu Layla is known.
The presenter : Ha, it is necessary
The Shaykh : His effort is of a special type.
The presenter : Yes, by Allah. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh Khalid, by Allah, the matter of his service in this 'aqiqah and in this feeding made many matters easy for us.
The Shaykh : Without a doubt.
The presenter : From that day, the customer of the right, the display of the expiation of zihar.
The Shaykh : Yes, what Allah willed, good, praise be to Allah.
