HARSHNESS

QUESTION: There are some students who call themselves Salafees, and they have some specific shaykhs that they refer to and they do not pay any mind to other callers and shaykhs. They also belittle some of the callers to Islaam, saying that they are Qutbees or Ikhwaanees, while the manhaj of those callers is the manhaj of Ahlus-Sunnah, and they are following the way of the righteous Salaf. So great trials have reached us from these people, as they are running people away from the Religion. They also have a specific tape store, and the other shaykhs' tapes are not sold there. They also speak ill of other conferences and lectures. It is as if Islaam is restricted to their masjid only. So what is your opinion of this, may Allaah reward you.

ANSWER: by Shaykh 'Ubayd Al-Jaabiree, well-known scholar and retired professor from the Islaamic University of Al-Madeenah I believe you are inventing a false situation with this question, as I do not know any Salafee that is like what you have said. Many times questions are based on invented scenarios, loaded questions that are only intended to discredit the Salafees. [1] The Salafees love the Sunnah and its people, and they detest innovation and its people. This is the Sunnah. [2]
