What is your opinion of the Tablighi Jamaat and the Salafis who go out with them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : For example, Shaykh, there are young men who say, "We are Salafis, and we mean to acquire all of Shaykh Nasir's books, considering that we do not rely on them... but they say we go out with the Tablighi Jamaat. Some of them say, 'We even give them our methodology,' and some say, 'We are...'"
The Shaykh : Anyone who becomes partisan for a person or a group to the exclusion of another has deviated from the call of Allah.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, what is your opinion of the Tablighi Jamaat?
The Shaykh : The questions and answers on this matter have already been given.
The questioner : Shaykh, you did not finish the answer, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : The matter is finished, my brother. May Allah guide you. We advise the Tablighi Jamaat to seek knowledge, and that is all.
The questioner : The young men...
The Shaykh : We advise them to seek knowledge and not to go out like this without knowledge, because this is contrary to the way of the righteous Salaf.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, regarding the young men, what is your opinion of them? They say, "We are Salafis, but we go out and give them our methodology."
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you. Do they accept your methodology? They reject you and your methodology because they consider the call to the Book and the Sunnah to be division. Therefore, they do not investigate tawhid (the oneness of Allah), nor do they investigate the Sunnah, nor do they know how the prayer is performed or how many times it is performed. This noble scholar reminds you of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):The Shaykh : This noble scholar reminds you of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 6008, but as the poet said:
The Shaykh : "And had I called out, I would have heard a living soul, *** But there is no life in the one you call.
The Shaykh : And had I blown on a fire, it would have lit up, *** But you are blowing on ashes."
The Shaykh : Why do the Tablighi Jamaat, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the parties not perform this prayer properly? Why? Because they do not want to gain understanding of the religion of Allah, but rather they want to become partisan for a party other than the party of Allah.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

offer your prayers in the way you saw me offering my prayers
صلُّوا كما رأيتُمُوني أصلِّيThe Shaykh : "And had I called out, I would have heard a living soul, *** But there is no life in the one you call.
