Ibn Abdul Waahid advised Diyaa about recitation of the Qur’aan and seeking knowledge
Ibraaheem Ibn Abdul Waahid Al-Maqdisee (rahimahullaah) stated whilst advising Diyaa al-Maqdisee (rahimahullaah) when he (Diyaa) desired to travel and seek knowledge: ”Read the Qur’aan a lot and do not abandon it; for indeed it will make it easy for you to acquire (the knowledge) you seek in proportion to what you read.” Diyaa (rahimahullaah) then said: ”I did see and experience (what Ibraaheem advised me); for when I used to read a lot of (Qur’aan), it was easy for me to listen and write down a lot of hadeeth. And when I did not read (a lot), it was not easy for me.”

Imaam Tirmidhi’s (rahimahullaah) Rulings on Ahaadeeth [Brief comment by Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi]
Shaikh Muhammed ibn Haadee (may Allaah preserve him) was asked whether the ruling of at-Tirmidhee when he makes a hadeeth “Saheeh” can be relied up. He answered: At-Tirmidhee’s rulings of Saheeh upon a hadeeth are stronger than his Hasan rulings. Also, he has been described as somewhat lenient. So when looking at Imaam at-Tirmidhee one should look to see who agrees with him from the well-known and bonafide scholars of hadeeth. [Source: https://twitter.com/AbuKhadeejahSP]
Updated: Question to Sh. Hassan Al-Banna On Women Setting Up Da’wah Groups & Duroos
Link to Audio: CLICK HERE
Question:
Our Shaykh, the question is: Here in the west, particularly in America, Canada, and Britain, we have well-known Salafee Masaajid, and centers; classes and lectures are held therein with some of the students of knowledge and visiting scholars whenever possible. When this is the case, is it okay for the women who live near to these Salafee centers to establish Da’wah groups distinct from the centers and Masaajid in their areas, in which the people are gathered upon good?
And what is your advice to the women who are the founders of these organizations?
Answer:
It is incumbent that they ask the men and not suffice with their (own) knowledge; because the knowledge of the women is deficient. They have to ask the men. When she has a problem then she must ask (the men) and when there is a matter which is common and easy which everyone knows, then she can speak regarding it. As for in cases of necessity in which there is a question then she is to ask a Shaykh and take from him; either by way of the telephone or when a Shaykh comes to them then she can ask him. The women may have distinct lessons, but it is a must that scholars supervise them, even if by way of the telephone. And they are to ask them.
However, the woman is not to suffice with herself; because the men have learned and are able to study and travel to the lands and that is not easy for the women. So it is a MUST that she refer to the men.
Perhaps she may say: “I am a Shaykhah!” Huh? You are a Shaykhah? You have studied?
You are (but) a student; a student of knowledge. Allaahul-Musta’aan. May Allaah bless you and may Allaah reward you with good.
Questioner:
May Allaah give you life; may Allaah reward you, our Shaykh.
Shaykh Adds:
The Prophet (upon him be prayers and peace) said: “Convey from me, even if only one verse.” The woman may convey. If you know a verse; you understand it and you act upon it, then mention it to the people. Similarly for the woman; she may speak with it to the people.
HOWEVER, sitting and giving lessons all day and the people coming to her, she does not have the ability to do this. She has other more important matters; (such as) the children; the home; her husband; and so on. They are affairs which every woman knows their value. The role of the woman is great in the cultivation of the children; and Islaam has given her a great station; and that is remaining within the home; and she is (therein) an Ameerah! She cultivates the children upon good. However, she is not like the European woman, doing whatever she wants; no. All of it is within the limits of the Sharee’ah. And may Allaah bless you and reward you with good.

Scholarly Clarification [Statement utilized by hizbiyyoon to protect figureheads of bidah]
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Chapter: The prohibition of reviling the deceased without right or a legitimate (overriding) benefit
The deceased—that is the deceased amongst the Muslims (i.e. in general they are not to be reviled). As for a disbeliever there is no sanctity for him except if reviling him will harm those of his relatives who are alive, then he is not reviled. And if there is no harm (in reviling him), then he has no sanctity and this is the meaning of the statement of the author [i.e. Imaam Nawawi]’’Without Right;’’ because we have a right to revile those dead disbelievers, who harmed the Muslims, fought against them and strove to corrupt their religion.
‘Or (without) a legitimate (overriding) benefit;’’ (i.e. not to revile the dead unless there is a legitimate overriding benefit in doing so); such as when this deceased person was a person of innovation and he has already disseminated it (i.e. his innovation) and disseminated it amongst the people, so here there is a benefit to revile him, warn against him and his path, so that the people are not mislead by him.

A specific question about women study circles–Al’Allaamah Ubaid Al-Jaabiri
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
All praise is due to Allaah. We thank Him (The Most High) for protecting us from many of the trials—the trials of Shubuhaaat and Shahawaat. The Salafiyyoon of Al-Markaz As-Salafi in particular must thank Allaah (The Most High) for granting them the Tawfeeq to recognize the truth in many of the affairs of the Salafiyyah Dawah. Therefore, we should be mindful of self-amazement, boastfulness and stubbornness when truth reaches us, because our hearts are not in our control. Likewise, it is incumbent upon us to spread truth with wisdom, fine admonition and firmness after recognizing and acting upon it. Neither should we fear the blame of the blamers nor should we give any attention to anyone who employ tricks and ambiguity in order to evade the clear verdicts of the scholars. Al-Allaamah Ubaid Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him) was asked a specific question from Manchester via Ustaadh Uwais Taweel (may Allaah preserve him) about those who are worthy of teaching Salafiyyah….
Question
Is it better for us to attend the masjid and seek ilm and learn from the tullaab, or learn in our houses with sisters, even though they may not have a background in knowledge.
Answer
Shaykh said: the students of knowledge are known to be Students of knowledge and steadfast upon that (Salafi) then take knowledge from the students of knowledge. As for the sisters, then there is no harm in the sisters teaching as long as the sister has studied in Umm Al- Quraa or an establishment and studied with scholars, then it’s no harm in her teaching.
So Ustaadh Uwais (may Allaah preserve him) continued and asked “what happens if she hasn’t studied?”
So the Shaykh (may Allaah preserve him) said “La (no). Rather she should go to the tullaab the students of knowledge who are well known. But no harm if she has studied in Umm al Qura or with the people of knowledge.” See link: http://www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/audio/uways-at-taweel/uways-at-taweel-talk-2.mp3 [Question starts after 20 Mins—the question was asked specifically to remove all doubts people may seek to propagate in this affair through ambiguous and general statements.
