A word on collective organization.

The Shaykh : They do not increase in knowledge, culture, or righteousness by doing so, and a fortiori, they have not benefited the Muslim community in any way, for example, in terms of righteousness in creed, rectitude in worship, conduct, and morals. All of them are walking around, and there is no creedal, intellectual, or sectarian bond, if that is the correct term. They are scattered and dispersed, and no bond unites them other than the name. If the intention behind "organization" is this kind of organization that neither fattens nor satisfies hunger, then we not only do not accept it as our organization, but we reject it categorically. However, if the intention behind "organization" is something else, as you mentioned earlier, that the Salafis in all lands should study knowledge in organized communities, then this is undoubtedly from the Sunnah. It is not possible to acquire knowledge in a scattered manner, meaning each individual separately. I do not say "each party rejoicing in what they have," but this is my opinion on organization.

The questioner : All right, Shaykh, but if you go and denounce this organization to them, they say, "You are dividing the Muslims, just like the Sufis and the Tabligh."

The Shaykh : And if we look into creed, what do they say? May Allah reward you. They also say, "You are dividing the Muslims." So what does their saying matter to you? This is a quotation, not a citation.
