As salaamu alaykum,
I heard one of the Tulaab ul ilm make a statement that Bidaah is from one of the types of Hypocrisy. Is this statement correct?

Wa 'alaikum assalaam,
I have heard Shaykh Omar ibn Hamad alHarkaan (hafidhahullaah) one of the foremost students of 'Allaamah Ibn Othaymeen (rahimahullaah) & recommended by Shaykh Obaid (hafidhahullaah) say something similar to this , on more than one occasion.
BaarakAllaahu feekum,
Assalamu 'alaikum.

bid'ah: to attempt to draw near to Allaah with something He did not legislate, which is of two types:
- [1] mukaffirah: that takes him outside of Islaam, like attributing a son to Allaah, rejecting some of the Qur'aan, etc.
- [2] mufassiqah: that does not take one out of Islaam, like specifying general acts of worship with no evidence.
nifaaq: to conceal something inwardly that contradicts the outer appearance, which is of two types:
- [1] major ('itiqaadee): when a disbeliever pretends to be a Muslim
- [2] lesser ('ilmee): when a Muslim commits acts or takes on traits described as nifaaq in the texts, like lying, breaking trusts, etc.
Based on the above, someone whose bid'ah is mukaffirah and is thus not a Muslim could be described as a munaafiq of the first type. Meaning he pretends to be a Muslim outwardly while he is in fact a disbeliever.
Also, the innovator who is still considered a Muslim claims to be following the Sharee'ah, while his action is contradictory to that, so there is a kind of nifaaq in that as well.
Many of the early scholars referred to certain sects of innovators as "munaafiqoon", and there are references to many verses of the Qur'aan referring to munaafiqoon that they apply to the khawaarij, the qadariyyah, etc. in the books of tafseer. If this is something important, I could quote a few of them when I get a chance. (or someone else)

Yes I believe it is important because it will further vindicate the stance of the Salafees that refuting ahlul-bidaah strengthens Islamic Unity.

Here are some quotes from the Salaf rahimahumullahu ajmaeen as quoted in the book Sharh us Sunnah of Imaam Barbahari translated by our elder brother, the Dai'ee, Abu Talha Dawood Burbank hafidhahullah.
Abu Qilaabah: So their sayings, i.e. the hypocrites, varied but they were together upon doubt and declaring truth to be falsehood. These ones (the people of innovation) have different sayings, but they are together upon the (use of) the sword. I do not see them except heading for the Fire. [1]
Al-Barbaharee: The innovators are like scorpions. They bury their heads and bodies in the sand, and leave their tails out. When they get a chance they sting; the same with the innovators who conceal themselves amongst the people, when they are able, they do what they desire. [2]
Al-Barbaharee: If anything of innovation appears in a person, beware of him, since what is hidden from you is more than what is apparent. [3]
Al-Fudayl ibn Iyaad: If I see a man from the people of Sunnah, it is as if I have seen a man from the Companions of Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. If I see a man of innovation, it is as if I have seen a man from the hypocrites. [4]
Al-Fudayl ibn Iyaad: Whoever honors an innovator has assisted in the demolition of Islam.
It is also reported as a saying of the Tabi'ee Ibraheem ibn Maysarah(d.132H). [5]
Al-Fudayl ibn Iyaad: A person of Sunnah would not help an innovator except due to hypocrisy. [6]

Shaykh Ubayd hafidhahullah said, "The people of innovation from olden times have hypocrisy. The people of innovation have hypocrisy.
Therefore, Abul-Fadl al-Hamdaanee (rahimahullah) said, 'The fabricator of ahadeeth, and the innovator in Islaam are worse than the atheists from outside.' Meaning, the disbeliever will not be able to damage the Muslims as much as the Innovator. So if you brought two men, one named George or Joseph and another called 'Umar or Muhammad. So most of the Muslims would listen to whom? to Muhammad(or Umar). But as for the other one(George or Joseph), they would flee from him naturally."

It is reported from Hadhrat 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud radiAllahu anhu that he said:
For every bid'ah with which Islam is plotted against, Allah has a beloved worshipper (wali') who refutes and repels it and speaks about its signs, so take the full opportunity of attending such places, and trust in Allah.
Ibn Waddah, Al-Bid'ah p5.

Shaikhul-Islaam Muhammad Ibn Aslam at-Toosee (died 242), rahimahullaah said: "Whosoever honours, gives respect to, or venerates a person of bid'ah, then indeed he has aided in the destruction of the Religion."
(Ibn Waddaah, no. 120, Aboo Shaamah, no. 36.)

It is reported that Imam Abu Ishaaq Al-Hamdani(d.127 H) rahimahullah, the Tabi'ee, said, "Whoever respects an adherent of bidıah has helped in the destruction of Islam."[1]
In the biography of al Imaam Hamaad ibn Salamah al Basri (167h) Imaam adh-Dhahabi rahimahullah mentions "Imaam Ahmad(241H) said: If you see a man slandering Hamaad ibn Salamah then suspect his Islaam, for indeed he was harsh upon the people of bidıah"
Imaam Fudayl ibn ıIyaad said, ıVerily, Allaah has angels who look for the gatherings in which remembrance is made, so look and see with whom is your sitting. Let it not be with a person of innovation for Allaah does not look at them. And a sign of hypocrisy is that a man stands and sits with a person of innovation.ı [2]
From Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ıanhu), who said: The Messenger of Allaah (Sallallaahu ıalayhi wasallam) said: (( The souls are enlisted soldiers, so those that became familiar with one another from amongst them (in the heavens) will be inclined (towards each other in the world), and those from amongst them that opposed one another will differ. )) [3]
~ Imaam Fudhayl bin 'Iyyaad said: "The souls are enlisted soldiers, so those that became familiar with one another (from before) will be inclined (towards each other), and those from amongst them that were opposed will differ, and it is not possible that a person of Sunnah can be inclined towards a person of bid'ah except due to nifaaq." [4]

Shaikh ul Islaam ibn Taymiyyah raheemahullaah said, "It is obligatory to punish whoever ascribes himself to them (i.e., the people of innovation) or defends them, or praises them, or magnifies their books, or hates that they be spoken against, or begins to make excuses for them such as by saying he doesn't know what this speech (against them) is or 'who said that he wrote this book'. This goes the same for similar excuses like these, which no one utters except an ignoramus or a hypocrite. In fact, it is obligatory to punish everyone who is aware of their condition yet doesn't assist in standing against them, for indeed standing against these individuals is form the greatest of obligations." Majmoo' al Fataawaa 2/132

الإمام الفقيه عبد الرحمن بن عمرو الأوزاعي : واحذروا : أن تكونوا على الله مظاهرين ، ولدينه هادمين ، ولعراه ناقضين ، موهنين بتوقير لهم ، أو تعظيم أشد من أن تأخذوا عنهم الدين ، وتكونوا بهم مقتدين ، ولهم مصدّقين ... موادعين ... مؤالفين ... معينين لهم بما يصنعون على استهواء من يستهون ، وتأليف من يتألفون من ضعفاء المسلمين لرأيهم الذي يرون ، ودينهم الذي يدينون ، وكفى بذلك مشاركة لهم فيما يعملون .
It is reported that Imaam Al-Awzaa'i (d157H) wrote:
"...And beware of rising against Allaah and becoming instruments in the destruction of His religion and undoing its handholds by respecting the innovators, for you know what has come down to us about respecting them. And what stronger respect and veneration can there be than taking your religion from them, following them, believing them, being close to them and helping them in alluring those they allure and attracting those they attract of the weak Muslims towards their ideas and the religion they practice? This is enough to be considered a partnership and contribution to what they do." |

Imaam Taqee-ud-Deen Abu Muhammad 'Abd-ul-Ghanee Al-Maqdisee (raheemahullaah) said concerning the various groups: "Know, may Allaah have mercy on you, that Islaam and its adherents are undermined by three types of groups:- The first type reject the ahaadeeth concerning Allaah's attributes and declare their narrators to be liars. These individuals are more harmful to Islaam and its adherents than the disbelievers.
- Another group believes them to be authentic and accepts them, however, they distort their meaning. These people are far worse in harm than the first group.
- The third type of group combines the first two views. According to their claims they eliminate any anthropomorphic qualities to Allaah, while they are lying. This directs them to accept the first two views. And they are greater in danger than the first two groups".

| Imaam Abul-Fadl Al-Hamdhaanee said: "The innovators in Islaam and the fabricators of ahaadeeth are worse than the disbelievers. This is because the disbelievers attempt to corrupt the Religion from the outside, whereas these individuals attempt to corrupt it from the inside. They take the similitude of the inhabitants of a land, who strive to corrupt its condition (from the inside), while the disbelievers take the similitude of raiders laying siege to the land from the outside. Thus it is the ones on the inside that open the doors of the landıs surrounding barrier (and let the besiegers in). These types (of people) are far worse to Islaam than the ones who don't attribute themselves to it". |
|
Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah (raheemahullaah) said, directing his speech to those people that believe that Allaah and His creation are one reality of existence (wahdat-ul-wujood) and their leaders (from the Sufis), such as Ibn Sabآ'een, Ibn Al-Faarid and Ibn Jamweeh: "As for those who don't agree with them (i.e. the Sufis), a majority of them find no objection to their (Sufi) statements. Or they say: 'We do not understand this.' Or they say: 'On the outward this is disbelief, however it has some hidden and mystical meaning, which only those who utter it, possess knowledge of.'
آ
From these types of people are those who work with and support them (Sufis) against the believers that fight against the beliefs that Allaah is incarnate within His creation (hulool) and that Creator and creation are both mixed into one single existence (Ittihaad). These types of individuals are worse than those who assist the Christians against the Muslims, for indeed, the views of these innovators are worse than those of the Christians. Rather, they are even worse than those who aid the polytheists against the Muslims, for indeed what the polytheists said: آ'We do not worship them (idols) except so that they may draw us closer to Allaahآ' (Surat-uz-Zumar: 3) is better than what they say. Indeed, these polytheists asserted a Creator and a creation apart from Him, by which they sought to draw closer to Him (through it), whereas these innovators (Sufis) have replaced the existence of Allaah with the existence of the creation! |

Hypocrisy in Belief!
Hypocrisy with respect to beliefs is of six types. Aoodhubillaah! These six types of Hypocrisy in belief (which is the more dangerous type of hypocrisy than the hypocrisy in action) can be found in Shaikh Al-Albanee's highly beneficial book Tawheed First, O Callers to Islaam
 | quote: |
Nifaaq in belief is of six types:
[1] Denying belief in the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam).
[2] Denying part of what the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) came with.
[3] Hating the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam).
[4] Hating part of what the Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) came with.
[5] Pleasure in decline and diminishing of the Messenger's (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) Deen (religion), and
[6] Displeasure in victory and triumph for the Messenger's (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) Deen (religion). |
|
Source: Tawheed First, O Callers to Islaam, pg. 81 (English version, First Edition)
As Moosa (hafidhahullaah) just confirmed in a Private Message:
| quote: |
| Any one of the [above six types] is major Nifaaq [Hypocrisy] - disbelief outside of the religion - and thus the Munaafiqeen (hypocrites) are in the lowest parts of the Fire. |

Be Afraid of Hypocrisy!
Excerpt: al-Hasan al-Basree (d. 110h, rahimahullaah) swore by Allaah that:
| quote: |
| There is no single believer who lived in the past or who lives today except that he was/is afraid of hypocrisy; and there is no single hypocrite who lived in the past or who lives today except that he felt/feels safeguarded against hypocrisy. |
