Question:
A brother here asks, We see some of the Students of Knowledge here in America, disputing with one another, This salafee brother here does not agree with that salafee brother there. So what is your direction in this affair Sheikh, likewise I add to this, that some of the people are indulging in the matters of Jarh and Ta'deel and at the same time Sheikh they know nothing of the Usool of the religion (Tawheed, Fiqh, wudoo' etc) nor have any understanding of the principles of the religion such that if you were to ask them about the principles they would not be able to respond so what is your advice concerning this Oh Sheikhana?


Answer:
I have spoken about this affair many times in the past and I just clarified it regarding correct brotherhood so it is upon us to stick firm to that.  How do we stick to it?   If we stick firm to the book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the salaf Saalih then we will know the real meaning of brotherhood.  So we do not cut off one another nor turn each other away from one another.  Why? Because we would know the real meaning of brotherhood for Allaah.  If we are all Salafees and -unclear statement- then it is upon all of us to know the real meaning of brotherhood.  

However a point should be made.  Some of the Salafees speak about a person or persons in another location and they are not Salafees but are from the hizbees.  So they speak about them.  And perhaps some of the brothers think that those who are being spoken of are from the Salafees but the reality of it is that they are not from the Salafees.   If the case is that these people are from this category of people who are not Salafees, and they are from the hizbees then it is an obligation upon us to speak about them and Not to say that this is a differing between the SALAFEES rather it is differing between Salafees and hizbees.

If the case is that they are all from the Salafees then this matter is not permissible and we have clarified this affair so it is upon the people to stick firm to the Book and the Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salafus Saalih and to seek Islaamic knowledge.  After this then they shall know real brotherhood for Allaah.  And if any person has a problem then as Allaah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) says "And ask the people of knowledge if you do not know? The people of knowledge clarify the truth for the Salafees and clarify it for the hizbees so after this it is upon all to stick firm to it and these differences and differing shall go away  

As for the one who concerns himself with Jarh and Ta'deel with no knowledge then I have spoken many times about that person and the affair.  If a person indulges in this matter of Jarh and Ta'deel but does not learn Tawheed and does not learn Fiqh and the likes then he must be advised in this matter, So it is said to him "It is upon you to combine between ?ilm in Tawheed, Fiqh, and other then that from the sciences and likewise between the science of Jarh and Ta'deel so that you may gain (full) benefits for yourself and for other than you".  
Likewise, perhaps the person has a small bit of knowledge but is not firm in them, and has knowledge of some of the issues of jarh and ta'deel that he is firm in, at this point it is permissible for him to speak.  He gives jarh and ta'deel upon the one he has knowledge of in this matter.  This matter is clear with the Salafee Da'wah.  And this is taken from the Messenger of Allaah's (alaihis salaatu was salaaam) hadeeth in Saheeh Bukhaari "Convey from me even if it be one ayaah".  So if it becomes clear to an individual, even though he has little knowledge but knows the reality of Hizbiyyah for example, or partisanship or a man from the people of partisanship who is deceiving the muslims in the masjid, and is calling to the da'wah of Sayed Qutb, Hasan al-Banna, Salmaan al-Awdah, Safar al-Hiwaalee, or other then them, if this becomes clear then it is permissible (for him to speak against them) because he has knowledge of this matter, he knows the individual so he cautions from him and clarifies his affair so that the people may stay away from him.  

However the one who concerns himself with this matter without knowledge then this shall perhaps be harm upon him but it is upon the Salafees to advise him to combine between ?ilm in Tawheed and other then that and between Jarh and Ta'deel so as to extract (all of the) benefits.

May Allaah bless the Sheikh and keep us firm upon the Salafi Manhaj.  Knowing it solves all problems.

Imaam al-Hasan al-Basree said, when he came across a group of people disputing:

?These ones have become tired of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their piety has diminished, and that is why they talk.?
