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).
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) stated recently about the followers of Hajoori Al-Mubtadi: These people are of two types, one who is ignorant of the deviations of al-Hajuri, so he is taught and reminded or the one who knows of his deviations, has been informed of them, but he defends him so is thrown alongside him…. [End of quote: Translated by Ustaadh Amjad Rafiq (may Allaah preserve him)]
This statement of Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari is a specific ruling regarding the circumstances of the UK followers and defenders of Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi; likewise we find the Shaikh’s teachers amongst the Scholars making similar but general statements regarding innovators and their followers. Al-Allaamah Zaid Bin Hadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) stated:
Indeed Ahlus Sunnah are people who possess fear of Allaah– they neither make Takfeer, Tafseeq (i.e. declare a person a sinner) and Tabdee (declare a person an innovator) except against the one who deserves it based on the evidences in the Book and the Sunnah and the understanding of the pious predecessors of this Ummah.
Secondly, you should know: The people of desires and misguidance are (categorized into) those who are followed and those who follow; indeed, those followed are the ones who set up the various principles of innovation and they call to their innovation and misguidance, and they will carry their burden of sins and the burden of the sins of those whom they misguided without knowledge, as it is clearly stated in the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. As for the followers of a leader from amongst the people of desires, then in most cases they are of two categories:
The First Category:
Those who possess knowledge, but they harbor evil intentions. So they yield to Satan, desires and the urge of the evil soul. They follow the people of misguidance and oppose the callers to guidance (in that which) Allaah sent His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) with.
The Second Category:
Their share of knowledge is little, so the people of desires take advantage of them and they become (part) of their group. They convince them that what they call them to is the manifest truth and that what their opponents are upon is falsehood. And they convey to them a huge (number) of affairs that resemble the truth but are falsehood in reality, in order to deceive them and submerge them into misguidance. [End of quote: Source: For further details see: Al-Ajwibah Al-Athariyyah Anil Masaa-il Al-Manhajiyyah, Khamsoona Su’aalan Wa-Jawaaban: page: 18-19:]
Indeed, those who are neither afflicted with confusion nor fanaticism know that the scholars have clarified Hajoori’s evil state of affairs—some have warned against his dangerous mistakes, some have warned against his vile street language, some have warned against his lies and contradictions and some have warned against his extremism and recklessness. However, despite the clear warnings of the scholars– based on the dangerous errors and extremist stances found in his tapes– such as the likes of Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadee, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari, Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhaab Al-Wasabi etc, the leading Email Shaykh- Hajoori-Fanatic of Manchester still hides behind a computer and sends emails whose contents are filled with nothing more than fanaticism, ignorance and emotional nonsense. He cannot come to terms with the fact that his Haddaadi Mubtadi Shaikh has not offered any sound fundamental principles to justify his positions; rather he only offers empty talk, quackery, vagueness, cover up, agitation, arrogance and rage. This is the reality of the affair; however this particular deluded and self-amazed flag bearer of Hajoori fanaticism seeks to argue with falsehood and emotional nonsense. Indeed, this behaviour is not befitting a man over the age of forty.
Therefore, it must be made known without any ambiguities that the nonsense and fanaticism he displays whilst attacking the students of knowledge, the Salafi centres and some of the Mashaayikh will not be tolerated anymore. This is what every sensible person expects from us. Finally, we remind this Email Shaykh-Hajoori Fanatic that his Haddaadi Mubtadi Shaikh is the cause of the spitting and chaos. Shaikh Zaid Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah preserve him) said:
“The innovator is the cause for splitting; because splitting is connected to innovation and unity is connected to the Sunnah. The obligation of refuting the Mukhaalif is not lifted from the scholar due to anticipation of harm, unless it is harm he is not able to bear. Then (in this case), Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. The earth is not devoid of people of knowledge who will carry out refutation against the Mubtadi and the Mukhaalif.” [Al Ajwibah Al Mukhtasar Alaa As-ila Al-Ashrati (Pgs. 43-44)]
We ask Allaah to guide this individual or protect us from his foolishness, delusion, self-amazement and arrogance.
In recent weeks we have witnessed the rise of the “E-Mail Shaikhs” and the consequent embarassing demise that followed, as predicted all that will remain in the end is a group of extremist fanatics of al-Hajoori emailing each other with absurd nonsense for comfort. It appears the statement of Shaikh Rabee’ is completely applicable in Manchester and the surrounding regions with regards to many of these fanatics having been in Dammaj for miniscule time periods and then attempting to fuel fitnah. Some from these extremist fanatics – whether it is Dammaj or elsewhere they have “studied” [in reality a month or two having learnt nothing other than a handful of words of the Arabic Language for many of them] -, most likely those with an inferior intellectual capacity leading them to not recognise the shame they bring upon themselves, have continued to forward worthless emails filled with absurdities.
They have attempted to make mention of Shaikh ‘Ubayd and the ludicrous claim that he has been refuted – by no other than their extremist Shaikh!. They spent time going through other people of knowledge one by one and either “advising”[!] or outright attempting to “refute” them upon their delusional state, they made mention of Shaikh Bazmool, and now it seems a deluded uprising against Shaikh Abdullah al-Bukhary is the recent focus…
Firstly, it is amazing how depleted the intellects of such fanatics have become; it would appear they seem to think upon their delusional state they are going to “refute their way out” by attempting to “take out” anyone and everyone who upholds and furthers the speech of Shaikh Rabee’, be it Shaikh ‘Ubayd, Shaikh Bazmool, Shaikh al-Wassaby and now Shaikh Abdullah al-Bukhary amongst many others!!…. little wonder Shaikh Rabee’ stated that they consider everyone else is under their feet!
Secondly, Shaikh Abdullah al-Bukhary is well known from the people of knowledge in Madinah, a teacher at the Islamic Unviersity, proficient in the Sciences of Hadith and praised by the scholars, this is the speech of Shaikh Rabee’ regarding those who speak ill of Shaikh Abdullah al-Bukhary, “I advise the youth in Madeenah to attend the lessons of brother Abdullah Al-Bukhari; for he is from the chosen of Ahlu-Sunnah, and from those who defend Ahlu Sunnah…he is from the best of the graduates of the Islaamic University of Madeenah.”
As-Shaykh Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Jaamee has also praised Shaykh Al-Bukhaaree.
All that remains to be seen is how long young, foolish, ignorant fanatics who are urged on through seeking respect from their seniors will continue to spread such foolish speech regarding the people of knowledge from ahlus-Sunnah in an attempt to “refute their way out” of this calamity they have entered themselves into through their extremism…and how long local young, foolish, ignorant fanatics will continue to humiliate and disgrace themselves by persisting in forwarding emails…?
By Allah it would be better for them to leave this destructive path of extremism and return to the truth, we ask Allah to rectify their affairs.
Regrettably the continued act to save face does not cease from the extremists of al-Hajoori, from the most audacious of claims recently presented being that al-Hajoori has somehow “clarified” the statement of Shiakh Rabee’!
Such a claim from the extremists presents certain difficulties; it is beyond comprehension what exactly they desire to believe upon their delusion has been clarified?
What part of the statement that they have ghulluw in them, an extremism that has no equal, has been “clarified?” To this day we see the extremists of al-Hajoori continuing upon their way of the “e-mail shaikhs” by sending embarassing attempts to redeem themselves, and it would be far better from them to accept their reality and repent. To this day we hear of them “refuting” the apparent “double standards” that exist from everyone refuting them? To this day they remain upon their statement that the only salafi masjid in Manchester has engaged in “criminal” acts! Yet they may be unaware that the reign of the e-mail shaikhs is coming to an end too, since certain individuals have already blocked them and they persist in humiliating themselves by sending emails! In the end they will have no one left but a group of the foolish sending each other emails to console themselves.
Similarly which part of the statement that they wage war against the salafis has been clarified? They continue to speak against the salafi centres of the UK, Canada and elsewhere, they continue to speak against all those who have further emphasised the speech of Shaikh Rabee’ upon them….
It is humiliating and embarassing to say the least that they have the deluded audacity to claim that the statement of Shaikh Rabee’ has been “clarified”!…the clarification is simple…they are extremists and foolish.
Abandon them and their ways and focus on seeking knowledge upon the sound methodology as taught by the scholars, not upon the fanatical exaggeration of the students of al-Hajoori.
Following the recent clarity that has arisen regarding the extremism of al-Hajoori and his foolish “students”, certain fanatics continue to fly the battered flag of extremism in Manchester and elsewhere. Shaikh Rabee’ – may Allah protect him – spoke with clarity and described with precision the type of extremists they all are, thereafter multiple other respected people of knowledge provided even further clarity on the issue.
But now… The extremists have unbelievably started speaking against ALL those refuting them one by one!!
Local “email shaikhs” continue to send emails [although less frequently!] attempting to defame anyone who has now backed up the statement of Shaikh Rabee’ on al-Hajoori and his extremism!
How long will they continue? Perhaps they do not realise they are actualising the statement of Shaikh Rabee even more by their activities, truly it appears everyone else is below them and they are the only true salafis! It appears everyone refuting them and their shaikh is now on “double standards”[!].
We ask Allah to protect us from their fitnah, if they insist in continuing upon their extremism in humiliation that is their regrettable choice.
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy
Al’Amoodee-one of the drivers of Al’Hajoori’s Ghuluww Caravan quoted a poet’s exaggerated praise for his Shaikh in [kashf Al-Ghitaa: 53]- that the one who desires knowledge in its entirety will find it in Dammaaj….. he will find its fountainhead with Yahyah….Yahyah is its fountainhead, for Allaah-The Lord of the Aalaameen-granted him knowledge. Reader: Bear in mind that Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi wrote the introduction to this treatise of Al-Amoodee [For further details see page 7 of the refutation Titled At-Tankeel by Ustaadh Abdur-Rahmaan Bin Ahmad Al-Barmakiy (may Allaah protect him)]
Humility of our Salaf
Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said: ”I wished that the people learnt this knowledge and attribute none of it to me.” [Jaami-ul Uloom wal-hikam: page: 131]
It was said to Imaam Ahmad (rahimahullaah): ”May Allaah reward you for the good you have (done) for Islaam. He said:”Rather, Allaah has (done) good for me through Islaam. Who am I, and what am I?” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 11/225]
Sufyaan Bin Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: ”Indeed, I become angry with myself when I see you come to me, and I say to myself: These people have not come to me, except due to the good thoughts they have about me.” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 7/285]
We seek Allaah’s protection from ghuluww and we ask Him for humility. And may He (The Most High) return Al-Hajoori and his supporters to the path of correctness

Al-Hajoori (may Allaah guide him) stated:
”Whoever says that the Dawah in Dammaaj has changed, then upon him is the curse of Allaah, the angels and all the people.”
[Quoted in Al-Qawl Al-Jaliyy Libayaani Maa Ghayyarahu Al-Hajoori Min Da-wati Imaam Al-Waadi-ee: PDF page: 1]
Linguistically bid’ah (innovation) means ‘a newly invented matter’. The Sharee’ah definition of bid’ah is: “A newly invented way [beliefs or action] in the religion, in imitation of the Sharee’ah (prescribed Law), by which nearness to Allaah is sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof – neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed.” Al-I’tisaam of ash-Shaatibee (1/37).
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Every innovation is misguidance and going astray” Reported by Abu Daawood (no. 4607), at-Tirmidhee (no. 2676) and it is saheeh. Ibn Hajr authenticated it Takhreej Ahaadeeth Ibn ul-Haajib (1/137).
And he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said: “… and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the Hellfire.” Reported by an-Nasaa’ee (1/224) from Jaabir bin Abdullaah and it is saheeh as declared by Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo’ ul-Fataawaa (3/58).
The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending, supporting or taking from them saying: “Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allaah, His Angels and the whole of mankind.” Reported by Bukhaaree (12/41) and Muslim (9/140)
And in his footsteps, we find the Noble Companions and the Taabi’een after them warning from the danger of innovations upon the Ummah, its people and their unity, since it is innovations which have divided the Ummah and split it asunder.
Ibn Abbaas (d. 68H) said: “Indeed the most detestable of things to Allaah are the innovations.” Reported by al-Bayhaqee in as-Sunan al-Kubraa (4/316)
Ibn Umar (d. 84H) said: “Every innovation is misguidance, even if the people see it as something good.” Reported by Abu Shaamah (no. 39)
Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said:”Innovation is more beloved to Iblees than sin, since a sin may be repented from but innovation is not repented from.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no. 238)
Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad (d. 187H) said: “I met the best of people, all of them people of the Sunnah and they used to forbid from accompanying the people of innovation.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no.267)
Al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110H) said: “Do not sit with the people of innovation and desires, nor argue with them, nor listen to them.” Reported by ad-Daarimee in his Sunan (1/121)
Ibraaheem bin Maysarah (d.132H) said: “Whoever honours an innovator has aided in the destruction of Islam.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (1/139).
Sufyaan ath-Thawree (d. 161H) said: “Whoever listens to an innovator has left the protection of Allaah and is entrusted with the innovation.” Reported by Abu Nu’aym in al-Hilyah (7/26) and Ibn Battah (no.444).
Imaam Maalik (d. 179H) said: “How evil are the people of innovation, we do no give them salaam.” Reported by al-Baghawee in Sharh us-Sunnah (1/234).
Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee (d. 204H) said: “That a person meets Allaah with every sin except Shirk is better than meeting Him upon any one of the innovated beliefs.” Reported by al-Bayhaqee in al-I’tiqaad (p.158)
Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad (d. 187H) said: “Whoever sits with a person of innovation, then beware of him and whoever sits with a person of innovation has not been given wisdom. I love that there was fort of iron between me and a person of innovation. That I eat with a Jew and a Christian is more beloved to me than that I eat with a person of innovation.” Reported by al-Laalikaa’ee (no.1149)
Al-Layth bin Sa’d (d. 175H) said: “If I saw a person of desires (i.e. innovations) walking upon the water I would not accept from him.” So Imaam as-Shaafi’ee then said: “He (al-Layth) has fallen short. If I saw him walking in the air I would not accept from him.” Reported by as-Suyooti in al-Amr bil ‘Ittibaa wan-Nahee anil Ibtidaa’.
Al-Fudayl bin ‘Iyaad said: “If a man comes to a person to consult him and he directs him to an innovator, then he has made a deception of Islaam. Beware of going to a person of innovation for they divert [people] from the truth.” Sharh Usool ul-I’tiqaad of al-Laalikaa’ee (no.261)
