Shaykh Muhammad Bin Rabee, Salafi Scholar of Madeenah, on the Woolwich Killing. Excerpt:
Islaam is free of this barbaric act. No [sound] intellect accepts this type of behaviour. This will do nothing but incite people who live in these lands to have hostility towards the Muslims.

Indeed all praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His aid and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Him from the evil of our souls and from our evil deeds. Whosoever He guides, there is none to misguide and whosoever He leaves to stray, there is none to guide. I bear witness that there is none that has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, alone and without partners – and I bear witness that Muhammad (salallaahu ‘alaihi wassallam) is His slave and Messenger.
Introductory quote:
This is a brief document outlining the unity of the Salafi Mosques and Islamic Centres in the United Kingdom regarding their position towards the fitnah Yahyaa al-Hajooree (may Allaah guide him and rectify his affair). After reading much of what has been written concerning the disagreement between Yahyaa al-Hajooree and the Salafi scholars, as well as his clear and numerous violations of the Salafi Manhaj, we have taken the position of the Scholars such as `Allaamah Rabee` al-Madkhalee, `Allaamah `Ubaid al-Jaabiree, Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee and Shaikh `Abdullaah al-Bukhaaree, that he is not to be referred to in affairs of Religion – and one should not travel to Dammaaj (in Yemen) to study with him whilst he is still teaching at that centre [since he has opposed the path of `Allaamah Muqbil bin Haadee al-Waadi`ee]. Furthermore, Yahyah al-Hajooree himself is not considered from the well-grounded scholars. They hold that he is to be warned against, and we take that position also based upon details proofs and evidences. We also hold that one should not study with or enter into disputation with those youth who carry his false methodology to other countries. Upon Yahyaa al-Hajooree and those who traverse upon his methodology from his students and ardent supporters is to fear Allaah, repent to Him, rectify their affair and make clear their return to the truth [from all of their errors] with the same vigor that they made falsehood manifest.

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.
Thaabit Al-Bunaanee said: Abu Ubaidah said, ”O people! Indeed I am a person from Quraish. And there is no red or black skinned person amongst you who considers me to be more fearful of Allaah than him, except I wish that I am like him (because he humbled himself by considering me more virtuous) [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 1/81]
Qabeesah Bin Qais Al-Anbaaree (rahimahullaah) said: When evening approached Dahhaak Bin Muzaahim used to weep; so he was asked:”What makes you weep?” He said: ”I do not know which of my deeds will be raised today (i.e. accepted by Allaah)” [Sifatus Safwa: 4/150]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Aa’isha [radiyallaahu-anhaa] said: I ask the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) about this Ayah:
[وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ – And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear] [23:60]; are they those who drink alcohol and commit theft?” He [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] said: ”O daughter of Siddeeq! Rather they are those who observe fasting, perform prayer and give charity, whilst fearing that their deeds will not be accepted from them.” [Reported by Imaam Tirmidee Number: 3175]
Hasan Al-Basri [rahimahullaah] said: ”The believer combines between perfection (in worship) and fear (that his deeds will be rejected); and the hypocrite combines between evil (deeds) and feeling safe from [Allaah’s punishment]” [Madaarij As-Saalikeen: 1/512]
Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said: ”A sign of having love for Allaah is (one’s) constant remembrance of Him; because whoever loves a thing will remember it a lot.” [Shu’ab Al-Eemaan: 1/388]
Yoosuf Ibn Asbaat (rahimahullaah) said: ”Purification of the intention from (what) corrupts it is harder upon the performers of (acts of worship) than prolonged striving (worship)” [Jaami al-Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:14]
