Do we Blind Follow in Affairs of Creed? – Shaykh Saaleh al-Fawzaan
Question: Is it permissible to blind follow in affairs of creed? Watch for the Shaykhs answer…
Tag: blind following
You are either a false accuser or an ill-informed one! Rebuttal of weak doubts.
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Do we blindly follow the Scholars: [Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Fawzaan, Shaikh Zaid etc] or the Salafi students within and outside of the UK- Where is your proof?!
Ibn Abdul-Barr (rahimahullaah) said:
“According to the scholars, Taqleed (i.e. blind adherence) is other than Ittibaa [i.e. adherence to an authentic affair narrated from the Messenger-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and obviously with the correct understanding of the Salaf]; because ittibaa is to follow a person based on what is apparent to you of the superiority of his statement and soundness of his school of thought. And Taqleed is that you speak with his statement, whilst you neither know the angle of his speech nor its meaning and you reject speech besides it; or his mistake is made manifest to you, but you follow him and venerate his opposition, whilst the corruptness of his speech is clear to you. This is what is forbidden to speak with in the religion of Allaah (The Most High)”

ANNOUNCEMENT: Beware of Those who Fish in al-Hajoori’s Murky Waters!
Update: A United Word From Ahlus-Sunnah in Britain Regarding Yahyah al-Hajooree
With the scholars speaking against Shaykh Yahyah al Hajoori, it is clear that those afflicted with difficulty in accepting these statements, have started to attack those who bring the clear verdicts of the scholars, to the people, not fearing their blame.
It is clear that they are manifesting the same haddadi manhaj of their Shaykh (see post 7 here by Abu Hakeem). Their petty attacks against “perceived mistakes” are based on clear jahl, misinformation, stitching of statements, half truths and lies.
They are nothing but a smoke screen in order to deflect the attention from the grave an serious mistakes of their Shaykh, Yahyah al Hajoori.
Our dealing with them are the same as our dealings with any supporters of an innovator! It is the same as is with the supporters of Ali Halabi, Abul Hasan al Ma’ribi, Abdur Rahman Abdul Khaaliq, Falih Harbi and the rest of the innovators.
And with Allah is the success!
