The questioner : We ask your forgiveness... We inform you that in Pakistan, a group emerged under the name Jama'at al-Muslimin. Initially, these people affiliated themselves with Ahl al-Hadith, then they became independent under the name Jama'at al-Muslimin... the hadith in the two Sahihs... that there is a Jama'at al-Muslimin who claim that anyone who does not pledge allegiance to this group and its leader is outside the Jama'at al-Muslimin, and it is not permissible to pray behind him. In some cases, they rush and declare as disbelievers those who do not pledge allegiance to this group. They also say that everyone who calls himself Ahl al-Hadith, or Ahl al-Sunnah, or Ashab al-Hadith, or a Hanafi or a Shafi'i, are all the same; they are all from the people of innovation. We have no name except one: Jama'at al-Muslimin... and other such things. They also cling to everything that has come in the hadiths... the biography, whether in... then whoever opposes them, they judge him... the adhan... committed a major sin... Ahl al-Hadith, so what is your opinion about this?
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. This requires a special session to expand on clarifying the matters, because I sense from this speech that this is a revival of the group of takfir... but it is not permissible to rush. Are these people you are speaking about here present here in Madinah?
The questioner : No, in Pakistan.
The Shaykh : No, those who conveyed this to you?
The questioner : Some of them came for 'Umrah.
The Shaykh : That is what I mean, here in Madinah.
The questioner : They came and complained that they... contacted the people of the mosques, the previous imams, Ahl al-Hadith...
The Shaykh : Fine, I will meet with you, if Allah wills, and we will set a time to meet with these brothers whom you met and who mentioned some of what you stated earlier, or witnessed it, and we will discuss what Allah Blessed and Exalted facilitates.
