The Shaykh’s clarification of the thought and methodology of Shaykh Safer al-Hawali and Salman al-Oudah.

The Shaykh : So I say: We mention what a person has in his favor and what is against him, and the criterion is what predominates in him. In matters of 'aqidah and tawhid (the oneness of Allah), we have not found any deviation regarding these two men. As for other matters, no person is free from falling into what contradicts others or the majority of the scholars of the Muslims. What appears from the statements published about them is that they are engaged in politics. And we, as callers to what the righteous Salaf were upon, do not support those who share our call to the Book and the Sunnah, then contradict us in following the methodology of the righteous Salaf in both the goal and the means.
So we differ with many of the callers who meet with us and are not far from us in the obligation of following the Book and the Sunnah, or with the other parties who do not care about our call except perhaps in outward appearance. So, no.
For example, we know that the Muslim Brotherhood, for decades: in their speech, they say: "Upon the Book and the Sunnah," but their actions do not indicate that.
As for the two men mentioned earlier, they are on the contrary. They are upon the methodology of the righteous Salaf in calling the masses to stand by the Book and the Sunnah. This includes not inciting the masses against the rulers of the Muslims, especially in a time when the religious deterrent is weak among the general Muslims.
