minded with regards to MuHafidah (preserving) of the Muslims, and<br />

they looked into the Masaaleh (interests/advantages of the Muslims)<br />

and the Mafaasid (i.e., d<strong>is</strong>advantages of the Muslims), and they were<br />

concerned about increasing the Khayr (the goodness), and they never<br />

approved Tahazzub (i.e., <strong>Hizbi</strong>yah, part<strong>is</strong>anship, group<strong>is</strong>m).<br />

Ibn Taymiyyah, therefore, stipulated that he, who calls to<br />

commit to one of the four <strong>Madhhab</strong>s, should be d<strong>is</strong>ciplined.<br />

Whosoever calls the people, 'O people, all of you, commit to the Hanbali<br />

<strong>Madhhab</strong>, the truth <strong>is</strong> with in, and whatever <strong>is</strong> apart from it <strong>is</strong> <strong>not</strong> the<br />

truth.", then he should be d<strong>is</strong>ciplined. And similarly, he who calls to<br />

commit to one of the Tareeqahs, he should be asked to repent, as Ibn<br />

close or become d<strong>is</strong>tant (from <strong>Salafiyyah</strong>) in accordance with their<br />

learning the Manhaj and its understanding.<br />

BUT we do <strong>not</strong> have the right to make definitive judgment that<br />

th<strong>is</strong> person, who calls others – provided he <strong>is</strong> <strong>not</strong> from the known<br />

callers to Bidah and m<strong>is</strong>guidance – <strong>is</strong> Salafi or <strong>not</strong>. The matter <strong>is</strong> <strong>not</strong> like<br />

th<strong>is</strong>. Or (we do <strong>not</strong> have the right to judge) that th<strong>is</strong> Dawah <strong>is</strong> the Salafi<br />

Dawah or <strong>not</strong>. The Minhaj of Islam <strong>is</strong> wide, which <strong>is</strong> inclusive of Dawah<br />

with their finer points, and therefore, it should <strong>not</strong> be restricted to only<br />
