Asking the Jinn questions during Ruqyah–Al’Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan

Questions:

Virtuous Shaikh, may Allaah grant you success; if the Jinn speaks at the end of the ruqyah, should I ask him about the magic and who did it?

Answer: No, no do not ask him about the unseen and the magic. Tell him, ‘’Fear Allaah, get out of this person; fear Allaah and do not transgress against the Muslims’’. Advise him, (but) as for asking him to inform you about things, this is not permissible–this is seeking aid and assistance from the Jinn. Yes.

Our Salaf: Maalik Ibn Deenaar–When a person seeks knowledge for action!

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) said: ”When a slave (of Allaah) seeks knowledge to act upon it, it withholds him (from evil and guides him towards good). And when he seeks it for other than acting upon it, it increases him in boasting.”

Our Salaf: Ibraaheem Al’Harbee–You have wronged me…….

It reached Ibraaheem Al-Harbee (rahimahullaah) that a people who sit with him considered him more virtuous than Imaam Ahmad Bin Hanbal (rahimahullaah); so he said to them: ”You have wronged me by considering me more virtuous than a man whom I am neither similar to nor have I reached (his status) in any affair. I swear by Allaah, you will never hear anything of knowledge (from me), so do not come to me after today. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 13/364]

Our Salaf: Sufyaan Ath’Thawree-I fear that the Ummah…….

Khalaf Bin Tameem (rahimahullaah) said: I saw Ath-Thawree (i.e. Sufyaan) at Makkah and many (people gathered around him or came to him); so he said: To Allaah do we belong, I fear that Allaah has made this Ummah to be lost when the people are in need of the likes of me. [Siyar 7/275]

And whenever he (rahimahullaah) was told that he has been seen in a dream, he would say: I know myself more than those who see me in a dream. [Siyar 7/252]

O Seekers of Knowledge! Be Mindful of This!

Abdur-Rahmaan bin Abee Layla (rahimahullaah) said: I have met a hundred and twenty companions of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in this Masjid and not a single one of them would be asked about a hadeeth, except he wished that his brother would suffice him in (answering). Then the affair came under the commission of a people, who claimed knowledge at present,–they give answers in affairs which if presented to Umar Ibnul Khattaab (radiyallaahu-anhu), he would have gathered the (Sahaabah of) Badr to consult them. [Sharhus Sunnah of Imaam Al-Baghawee: 1/305]

Tonight’s Dars @Masjid Salafi (Birmingham) After Maghrib–The Affair of Al-Hajoori

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) stated: The people of innovation and misguidance—whoever (seeks) to resemble the scholars and is not from them, then it is permissible to clarify their ignorance and manifest their blame worthy (affairs), as a warning against following them.

Ustaadh Abdul Waahid (Abu Khadeejah) will deliver a lecture tonight @Masjid Salafi (Birmingham) after Salaatul Maghrib UK time. This lecture will be a clarification of the statements and stances of the scholars towards Yahyhah Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi (may Allaah return him to correctness).

This is not from knowledge–Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaareee

In The Naame of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) said:

”There is nothing in the knowledge [of the sharee’ah related to] foolishness, recklessness, lying, insult and its likes from the manners of the people of oppression and desires; rather knowledge is clarification of the truth and disapproval of falsehood.   Imaam Al-Awzaa-ee (rahimahullaah) said: ”Knowledge is what the companions of Muhammad (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) came with, and what a single one of them did not come with is not knowledge.” [Al-Maqaalaat shar-iyyah: page: 47]
