The Shaykh’s statement regarding his criticisms of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Shaykh : ...But I hold the group as a whole accountable for certain things, and I hold some individuals, or many individuals, accountable for other things. These individuals differ between Syria and Jordan. For example, I hold them accountable for not caring to establish the correct creed among the members of the Muslim Brotherhood. Rather, in addition to that, they do not teach them the principles to which these young people should refer in order to resolve the actual disagreement existing among them, whether one is a Salafi, a follower of a madhhab, or a Sufi. We believe that the unity they seek cannot be established—at least within the circle of the Muslim Brotherhood—while these fundamental, authentic disagreements exist among them. This is contrary to what some of the extremists among the madhhab followers claim, who say that the disagreement is in the branches and not in the principles. I am not addressing this point now; I am holding the Muslim Brotherhood as a group accountable for some things, and holding some of their individuals accountable for other things.
As for the group, I believe—and it has been half a century or more since their founding—that it is obligatory for them to turn their attention to correcting the concepts of the members of the Muslim Brotherhood, especially those related to creed. This would be the first step toward unifying the members of the Muslim Brotherhood first, and then unifying them with the general Muslim community second. In addition to this, they must follow the plan that I say "Hassan al-Banna" (may Allah have mercy on him) followed when he agreed with the approach our friend "al-Sayyid Sabiq" took in authoring the book "Fiqh al-Sunnah." You remember Hassan al-Banna’s endorsement of this plan that al-Sayyid Sabiq laid out—may Allah reward him with good. I see a very strange contradiction in the ranks of the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the book that I always and forever advise young people to, when they ask me to point them to a book of Islamic jurisprudence based on the Book and the Sunnah; I say: I find nothing better for you than the book "Fiqh al-Sunnah" by "al-Sayyid Sabiq." Even though I have observations on it, because the reality of the matter is as Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Allah refused to complete anything other than His Book." And when I wrote a critique of the first, second, and third parts of "Fiqh al-Sunnah," indicating that I was cooperating with it and not criticizing it, I named my book "Tamam al-Mannah fi al-Ta'liq 'ala Fiqh al-Sunnah."
