Speaking about some of the callers who are not on the methodology of the Salaf, and being fair in judging them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The correct methodology of the Salaf, and they did not present to them the correct creed. Rather, they live to this day in confusion. Even if some of them have a sound creed, it is only because of their association with some of the existing Islamic groups that are based on calling to the Book and the Sunnah. The same is said about Mawdudi; he is a man of the Hanafi school who did not adopt the Book and the Sunnah as his method and methodology. He studied Western studies and refuted many of the attacks by Orientalists and their like against Islam and Muslims, and he did well in that. However, we cannot say that they were callers to the methodology of the Book and the Sunnah and to what the righteous Salaf were upon. My purpose in this last and first statement is that we stand with His saying, the Exalted:
and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness وَلَا يَجْرِمَنَّكُمْ شَنَآنُ قَوْمٍ عَلَى أَلَّا تَعْدِلُوا اعْدِلُوا هُوَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى
[Al-Ma'idah 5:8]
. Now that the time has ended, we leave it for another occasion, if Allah wills, unless you have an urgent matter, in which case we will hear it. Otherwise, I will say goodbye to you. Peace be upon you.
The student : If I have an urgent matter, I want to ask one last question, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : What Allah willed, no, this is the last thing.
