Salafitalk.com: Shaikh Yahyah-al-Hajoori: His Ghuluww and Going Beyond Bounds

Regardless what the extremists and fanatical supporters of Shaikh Yahyah may seek to do in portraying him in a good light, the fact remains that his errors are well known to the Mashaa-yikh and the Salafi Maraakiz.  The following link is an excellent summary of what he is upon.  We seek Allaah’s protection from persisting upon error.

To the Salafi students of knowledge–Ignore the restless envious ones

 A Poet said:

Exercise patience with the plots of the envious one, for indeed your patience kills him;

The fire consumes some of itself when it does not find something to consume.


We seek Allaah’s protection from those whose lives are consumed with envy and restlessness–those who constantly seek to find fault with those young students of knowledge who are busy transmitting the works of the scholars at Al-Markaz As-Salafi and else where.

[Part 1] Take the position of men against Shaikh Yahyah–Al’Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.  All praise is due to Allaah and may the Salaah and Salaam be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.  To proceed:

 

Allaah (The Most High) said:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِنْ يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا

‘’O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do. [4:135]

We ask Allaah (The Most High) to grant us Tawfeeq to be from those mentioned in the above Aayah.

 

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

”Speech about the people has to be with knowledge and justice, and not by way of ignorance and oppression.” [Minhaajus Sunnah: 4/337]

 

He (rahimahullaah) also said:

”The just amongst men is the one who informs of an affair the way it is; he neither adds to it and becomes a liar nor does he subtract from it and becomes a concealer.” [20/84]

 

Reader: The oppression and excessiveness of Shaikh Yahyah and his supporters has not ceased as stated by shaikh Rabee recently.  This is clear to everyone and to Allaah do we complain our grief.  Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said: ”Wickedness has occurred from him and no one agrees with him on this; no one agrees with Yahyah al-hajooree’s attacks/defamations except a misguided deviated one. [Quoted by Abdullaah Al-Musaalimiy]

 

Shaikh Abu Abdil Mu-izz Muhammad Ali Firkoos al Jazaa-iree (from the scholars of Algeria) stated:

Al-Hajoori does not possess knowledge–that knowledge by way of which displeasure is measured (i.e. the knowledge that enables a person to maintain justice in times of displeasure and anger). The man is young in age.’’ [4/1432AH Shabaan—Quoted by Abdullaah Al-Musaalimiy]

 

Likewise, as you are all aware that the Imaam of  Jarh Wat Tadeel of our era Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) recently stated as follows:  ”We have remained patient for 7 years, whilst letters and complaints have reached us.  And now you have to force him to change his ways.  If Yahyah carries on upon his ways, it will cause an incomparable fitnah.” [See Video at website of our noble brothers at Daarus Sunnah: http://video.dusunnah.com/uncategorized/yahya-al-hajoori-is-more-harmful-to-the-salafis-than-anyone-today-shaykh-rabee-al-madkhalee/]

 

The Shaikh also says: ”His students (i.e. Shaikh Yahyah’s students) are ghulaat (extremists).’’  He also says: ‘’Take the position of men with regards to him.’’  He also says, ‘’There is no one more harmful than Yahyah.  Only Dammaaj is left [considered salafi] and all the centres are under the feet [nothing] except Dammaaj”

[http://video.dusunnah.com/uncategorized/yahya-al-hajoori-is-more-harmful-to-the-salafis-than-anyone-today-shaykh-rabee-al-madkhalee/

 

Reader:

We will no longer tolerate any attacks from either Shaikh Yahyah or his students—the attacks directed at Shaikh Ubaid and the rest of the Mashaayikh.  Likewise we can no longer tolerate their attacks against Maktabah Salafiyyah; rather we seek the Aid and Assistance of Allaah in taking the position of men against him.  Al-Allaamah Rabee bin Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) stated that we warn against those who warn against Shaikh Ubaid and Maktabah Salafiyyah [see link http://www.salafitalk.com/entries/35-At-the-age-of-31-Kris-was-diagnosed-with-incurable-stage-IV-Cancer!?goto=next]

 

Inshaa-Allaah that which is to follow will be extracted from the many replies of the students of knowledge in repelling the oppression and excesses of Shaikh Yahyah.

 

And Allaah knows best

 


 

 

 

 

[C] Our Salaf and their fear of the consequences of death–Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee

Zakariyyah Al-Abdee (rahimahullaah) said: Ibraaheem An-Nakhaee (rahimahullaah) wept during his illness, so it was said to him: ‘’O father of Imraan what makes you weep?! He said: ”Why should I not weep whilst I am waiting for a messenger from Allaah (i.e. the Angel of death) to give me glad tidings of either this (i.e. Paradise) or (sorrowful news) of that (i.e. hell fire).”


[Hilyatul Awliyaa 4/224]

[a] Our Salaf and their fear of the consequences of death–Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu)

When death approached Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) he cried; so he was asked: ”What makes you cry?” He said: ”After isolation, the scarcity of provisions (for the hereafter by way of good deeds) and a major obstacle (i.e. the questioning in the grave and the standing on the day of judgment), then the place of descent will either be paradise or hell.” [Source: Sifatus Safwa 1/694]


 

[2] Fataawaa related to Women

Question:

How can a person become strong in Eemaan–fulfilling the commandments of Allaah and fearful of His Punishment?

 

Answer:

This can be (attained) by way of recitation of Allaah’s Book–studying it, pondering upon its meanings and rulings.  And by studying the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) — having knowledge and awareness of the affairs of the Islamic legislation by way of it, acting upon what that necessitates and adhering to it in creed, actions and speech.  And to be extremely mindful of (Allaah’s absolute knowledge of whatever you do and wherever you may be), to (nurture) the heart upon awareness of His Greatness, remembrance of the hereafter and what is found in it of recompense, reward, punishment and the severity of its affairs.  And to keep the company of those whom (you) know amongst the righteous people and keep away from the people of evil and corruption.

[1] Fataawa Related to women

Question:

What are the obligations a woman is to fulfil in order to become a female Muslim who adheres to her Religion?

Answer:

It is obligatory upon a person– be it a man or woman– to enter into the fold of Islaam and testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; (he/she should) establish the five daily prayers, pay the zakat, fast the month of Ramadaan and perform the hajj if the means to that is made possible.  And (he/she) should believe and adhere to the pillars of Eemaan and they are: Belief in Allaah, belief in His Angels, belief in His Books, belief in His Messengers, belief in the last day and belief in the pre-decree—its good and evil.  (And he/she) should fulfil all the remaining obligations and keep away from the forbidden things.  So by way of this (a person) becomes a true Muslim.
