| There is no harm in the Husband washing his wife |
| Question:
Verily, we have often heard from the common people that the wife is forbidden to her husband after death, meaning after her death. They say that it is not permissible for him to look at her nor is he allowed to put her into her place in the grave. Is this correct? Please answer us, and may Allah bless you. |
| Answer:
The legislative proofs of Islam prove that there is no harm in the woman washing her husband (after death) and looking at him, and there is no harm in the husband washing his wife and looking at her. Asma’ bint Umays washed her husband Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, and Fatimah willed that ‘Ali (her husband) wash her (upon her death) (may Allah be pleased with them). And Allah is the Giver of success. |

WHO IS BETTER:
SOMEONE WHO ATTAINS GOOD MANNERS
OR SOMEONE WITH THEM NATURALLY?
From the upcoming publication: Upright Moral Character by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen (translated by Moosaa Richardson)
There is an issue worthy of discussion here: Who is more virtuous – someone who has commendable character naturally, or someone who worked to attain it? Which of them has a higher status and more reward than the other?
We reply to this question, saying: Certainly, the person created with good manners is more complete with regards to his behavior, and with regards to the actual presence of the manners within him. That is because he does not need to struggle or overcome any difficulty in manifesting them, nor are these manners absent in certain situations and scenarios, since they are found within his natural disposition. Whenever and wherever you meet such a person, you find him having good manners, no matter what the situation. So, from this angle, he is more complete without doubt.
As for the one who struggles, refines himself, and attains good manners, then he is certainly to be rewarded for this, due to his personal struggle. However he is much more deficient than the other when it comes to the completeness of his character.
Furthermore, if a man is granted both types, some good character naturally and some attained, then this is the most complete case. The types of people in this regard are four:
[1] One who has been deprived of (innate) good manners (and he has not attained them)
[2] One who has some (innate good manners), but he has not worked to attain any more
[3] One who has good manners naturally, and has worked to improve them
[4] One who has been deprived of innate good manners, but has worked to attain themIn conclusion, the one who has good manners naturally is more complete (in his character). However, when a person struggles and endures hardships to attain good character he will be rewarded for his efforts.
In conclusion, the one who has good manners naturally is more complete (in his character). However, when a person struggles and endures hardships to attain good character he will be rewarded for his efforts.

The conference organised by the brothers at Masjid al-Furqaan (Troid.org) was a great success, may Allah bless the brothers and sisters who organised it, those who lectured and those who attended.
Many issues were clarified, like our connection to the scholars and love of them; our position towards the Salaf and how to behave with those who oppose the Salaf; that there are differences in the Ummah that are tolerated and differences that are intolerable - so how did the Salafi distinguish between the two?; The Ghurabaa (the Strangers) and their defining characteristics; the Aided Group (at-taa’ifah al-mansoorah) is not harmed by those who abandon them, nor by those who quit them - rather they remain steadfast; a rebuttal of the people of our times who ascribe themselves to Salafiyyah and then wage war against the Salafis claiming that they performing Jihaad!
Included were detailed responses to those who speak ill of the scholars and claim they are independent of them and have no need of them.
Likewise prominent callers in the West who ascribe themselves to Ahlus-Sunnah were rebutted - those who defend and protect the people of bid’ah and their ideologies and claim that this is from the Salafi manhaj - responses to the deviations of Yasir Qadhi (and those who signed the pledge of unity alongside him), Abu Usamah Adh-Dhahabi, Suhaib Hasan and the various jama’aat and political jam’iyyaat of misguidance.
A conference of tasfiyyah and tarbiyyah! A conference clarifying the path of the Salaf! A conference connecting the people to the ulamah of the Sunnah!

THE NOBLE SHAIKH & SCHOLAR OF KUWAIT ANSWERS:
DO SALAFI PUBLICATIONS HAVE HIZBIYYAH?
QUESTION:
O Noble Shaykh! May Allaah preserve you. What do you advise those who establish attacks upon this Masjid, Masjid As-Salafi [Salafi Publications], accusing it of hizbiyyah or that it is hizbee or that they are pseudo-Salafis or new-age Salafis? May Allaah reward you with good.
ANSWER:
I begin with the name of Allaah and all praise is for Allaah – I say that this attack or criticism, just as I said a little while ago, ‘Establish the throne then debate!’ So you say that this Masjid [of Salafi Publications] has hizbiyyah – where’s the evidence?! What is this hizbiyyah?
Hizbiyyah is that they make walaa’ (allegiances) meaning al-walaa’ (allegiance) and al-baraa’ (enmity) utilizing or upon other than the obedience to Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, or upon other than the Book of Allaah or other than Allaah or upon other than His Messenger or His Book – meaning that they have a person, if he was to say, ‘It is night’, they would say, ‘Night’. And if he was to say, ‘Day’, they would say, ‘Day!’ – regardless of if the matter opposed the speech of Allaah, and if this is present, then it is hizbiyyah – i.e. that their affairs in that which oppose the speech of Allaah and the Messenger (salallaahu ‘alaihi wassallam) and they are obeyed in that, then that is hizbiyyah. If that is the case, then inform us! And then I will not pray here (the Shaikh laughs)!
The evidence [therefore] is necessary,
“O you who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with news, then verify it’s correctness.”
(Sooratul-Hujaraat)
It is NOT correct, my brothers, that accusations are made against people, haphazard, random accusations – these are not from the characteristics of the people of Imaan. So no doubt, there has to be verification and ascertaining the correctness of claims.
So if he says [there is] hizbiyyah, say to him, ‘Come! Where is the evidence that they have hizbiyyah?’ Do they have obedience [to an appointed leader], do they have the bai’ah (the pledge of allegiance to their appointed leader) upon allegiance and enmity? Do they have hearing and obeying in other than the Book of Allaah or upon other than the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah? If they do, then this is hizbiyyah – hearing and obeying even if it opposes the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, even if it opposes the Madhhab of the Salaf?
So they do not have hizbiyyah, they do not have hizbiyyah and neither are they pseudo or new-age Salafis, and all praise is for Allaah!
As for the ancient Salafiyyah of old, then it is known and written down. So if they have [at al-Maktabatus-Salafiyyah] anything new that opposes the [Salafiyyah of] old, then show us [and tell us saying:] ‘Here is point one, two, three etc.’ and say, ‘this opposes the [Salafiyyah of] old’ – So that is the meaning of new-age pseudo Salafiyyah (Salafiyyah Jadeedah). And here I say to you, for example, so and so from the people, ‘Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq. Yes, he has this new-age, pseudo Salafiyyah – he himself said: ‘The Salafiyyah of taqleed, blind-following of old, wages war upon the [worship] of graves and the New Salafiyyah makes war upon the Palaces [of the Kings]’. He is one who said it! He says that there is a Salafiyyah of old and a Salafiyyah which is new, that wages war upon what? Wages war upon the Palaces and wages war upon the Rulers! He himself said it upon his own tongue in his own book! He wrote it in a booklet.
And all praise is for Allaah. So also these people [at Al-Maktabatus-Salafiyyah] do they have something new that opposes that which is old? And that which is old [from the Salafi manhaj and ‘aqeedah] is written and known, everything, and nothing is hidden! So establish for us that which they have which is new that opposes the old [Salafi way] that we know of, then we will say, ‘As-salaamu ‘alaikum’!
Then I advise [the one who makes these accusations and attacks] – Safe from you are the Ahlul-Bid’ah wal-Ahwaa, and the Shee’ah, and the Raafidhah in this land and the Kuffaar! – And you found no one else to attack except your brothers, the Salafiyeen?!

WHO IS ASH-SHAIKH FALAAH IBN ISMAA’EEL AL-MUNDIKAAR
The Noble Shaykh, may Allaah preserve him, started upon his sitting and taking from the ‘Ulamah at the age of 15. He graduated from the Islamic University of Madeenah at a time when the great ‘Ulamah were teaching there. He attained under them his degree and then his Masters and then completed his Doctorate. His PhD thesis was entitled: “The Connection Between Soofism and Shee’ism” – and he received the highest accolade for that.
He took from those ‘Ulamah the knowledge of: ‘Aqeedah, Fiqh, Usoolul-fiqh, Qawaa’idul-Fiqhiyyah, Arabic Grammar, Sarf, Balaaghah, Hadeeth, the Sciences of Hadeeth and Tajweed.
His Shaikhs include amongst others:
Shaikhul-Islaam Abdul-’Azeez Ibn Baaz.
Ash-Shaikh Al-Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen Al-Albaanee
Ash-Shaikhul-’Allaamah al-Faqeeh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-Uthaimeen
Ash-Shaikh ‘Abdul-Qaadir As-Sindee
Ash-Shaikh Al-Muhaddith Hammaad Ibn Muhammad al-Ansaaree
Al-’Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Ibn ‘Alee al-Jaamee
Ash-Shaikhul-’Allaamah ‘Abdul-Muhsin Al-’Abbaad
Ash-Shaikhul-’Allaamah al-Imaam Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee
Ash-Shaikhul-’Allaamah ‘Alee Naasir al-Faqeehi
A GREAT BENEFIT FROM OUR FATHER:
ASH-SHAIKHUL-’ALLAAMAH
RABEE’ IBN HAADEE AL-MADKHALEE
The noble Scholar, the Imaam of the sciences of Jarh wa Ta’deel, stated regarding these types of baseless attacks:
| “You are asked regarding specific individuals who are well-known amongst the people for Salafiyyah and calling to it… and you remove them from Salafiyyah and this taking them out is a severe Jarh (disparaging criticism) upon them that requires proofs. And if you do not come with evidences that show the reasons for this Jarh (disparaging criticism), then the people will see that you have oppressed them, and have transgressed against them, and have attacked them in their Religion without any due right..” |

Yesterday Shaikh Muhammad al-Anjaree delivered a lecture regarding the issue of clarity and detail in terms of the Sunnah and Salafiyyah. He brought some beautiful statements from the likes of Ikrimah (a Taabi’ee), who said that the Prophet left the Ummah upon a clear manhaj. He mentioned and explained the hadeeth of the Ghurabaa, he described their qualities and characteristics. He explained the statement of Ibn Taimiyyah that the people are of three categories, either upon the truth - or an opposer - or one who forsakes Ahlul-Haq in their time of calamity.
He answered questions regarding Suhaib Hasan and his co-operation with Yusuf al-Qardaawee and the Soofees and Ikhwaanees; Regarding Ihyaa Turaath al-Islaami and their speakers such as Faisal al-Jaasim, Adnaan Abdul-Qaadir and their cooperation with the Jam’iyyah Ahlel-Hadith in the UK; Ragarding correcting the errors of the deviants and refusing to mention their names.
The lecture was delievered in the Salafi Mosque to a ‘full-house’ - the turnout was excellent; the online Paltalk room was filled to its capacity of 250. The talk was translated and is available on CD.
Get this CD and give it as a gift to others so as to bring them to better understanding of the Sunnah.

AN EXPOSITION OF THE FALSIFICATIONS, LIES, DISTORTIONS AND TREACHERY OF FAWZEE AL-BAHRAINI WHO IS FALSELY DESCRIBED AS FAWZEE AL-ATHAREE | PART 1
by
Ash-Shaikh Al-Allaamah Rabee’ bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee
(May Allaah preserve him and protect him)
Attached is Part 1 (in Arabic) of a series of five refuatations compiled by Shaikh Rabee’ ibn Haadee Al-Madkhalee against the lies and deceptions of Fawzee al-Bahraini (who calls himself Fawzee al-Atharee). Fawzee al-Bahraini for the last two years or so has been waging a hate-campaign against the Scholars of Madinah, Makkah and others. His has used foul and evil speech against the likes of Shaikh Rabee’, Shaikh Ubaid al-Jaabiree, Shaikh Ahmad an-Najmee, Shaikh Zaid al-Madkhali (etc.) From the lies he has invented against Shaikh Rabee’ include:
1. That Shaikh Rabee’ and those who support him and aid him are, “.. in reality Khawaarij.. Rawaafidh.. Murji’ah”
2. He falsely accuses Shaikh Rabee’ and his brothers from the ‘ulamah of declaring Ahlus-Sunnah to be innovators, (such as Raafidhah etc.) yet in reality he himself is the one who does this(!!) One can clearly see the instability and confusion in the thoughts and conclusions of Fawzee.
3. He claims falsely that Shaikh Rabee’ is from the Murji’ah. A fundamental trait of the sect known as the Hadaadiyyah (who Shaikh Rabee’ refuted many years ago) is that they accuse those who are free from ‘irjaa as being Murji’ah and therefore as deviated innovators.
4. He claims that it is ‘must’ and a ‘condition’ in the definition of Imaan that one must say, “that Imaan decreases and decreases until nothing remains of it.” Yet, as Shaikh points out, that many, many Imaams of the Salaf did not utilise this term, they would simply say, “It increases and decreases.” And others would simply say, “It is speech and action.” So Fawzee and his colleagues have added a ‘pre-requisite’ and a ‘condition’, claiming that it must be said, otherwise one is a murjiyy!
5. Fawzee and his companions falsely claim that the Imaams of the Salaf used to include the term ‘Jins al-Amal’ into the definition of Eemaan. Yet this terminology was unknown to the early Salaf. Some of the latter day Scholars utilised it, but it not in the manner of the modern-day Haddaadees.
6. Their false claim that whomsoever falls into bid’ah is necessarily an innovator without explanation or detail. The Haddaadis of old used to regard Ibn Hajr and An-Nawawee to be innovators. The modern day Haddaadis declare the scholars of Madinah and Makkah and the Saamitah to be innovators - but worse still, they accuse them falsely without proof!
7. Their raising of Faalih al-Harbee** to the level of the greater Scholars such as Imaam Ibn Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah), even after the proof has been established against Faalih al-Harbi.
Shaikh Rabee’ makes apparent the sinful and apparent lies and accusations against the Scholars that Fawzee al-Bahraini invents. He exposes the fact that he edits out speech and removes the context, and sometimes blatently invents things that do not exist. The Shaikh exposes his ignorance in knowledge and challenges him to show his efforts and authorship in the refutation of the Shi’ah, or the Soofees, etc.
Sufficient is it that we say to Fawzee al-Bahraini the same as what is said to the goat who keeps trying to ram the mountain, “O goat don’t have mercy upon the mountain, have mercy upon your horns!”
——————————————-
** Let not the English reader be deceived by those who claim that, “Maktabah Salafiyyah used to praise Faalih Al-Harbi and Fawzee al-Atharee so therefore they are with them both.” By Allaah this is from the severest of deceptions utilised by those who harbour enmity towards Maktabah Salafiyyah.
Rather what is correct is that Maktabah Salafiyyah praised the two of them whilst the Scholars praised the two of them due to what was known of them at that time of good.
And anyone who has a share in knowledge knows the praises of the scholars for them - just as the Scholars praised Abul-Hasan Al-Ma’rabi before he went astray, and likewise Usaamah al-Qoosee, Muhammad al-Maghraawee, Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq, Adnaan Ar’oor etc.
So there was a time when they were praised and much good was mentioned regarding them, but when they went astray, these taziyyahs became worthless in the face of their deviations. And this is from the excellence, honour and nobility of the Scholars such as Shaikh Rabee’, Shaikh Ubaid and their brothers from Ahlus-Sunnah - i.e. that the previous praise of a person does not give him the right to innovate, nor does it make him immune from refutation if he goes astray! Rather the tazkiyyah become a proof against him.
But those who thrive upon the ignorance of the people in the West, seek to misguide them with ambiguities and vague statements, half-stories and fables!
From the first moments the Scholars such as Shaikh Rabee’ exposed their errors and deviations upon evidences, Maktabah Salafiyyah followed suite immediately without delay. And that is the case with Ihyaa Turath, Abul-Hasan, Ar’oor, Suhaib Hasan and Faalih al-Harbi.
When Shaikh Rabee’s first public talk was delivered against Faalih al-Harbi, the brothers from the Maktabah were in the house of Shaikh Rabee’. After the talk Shaikh Rabee’ clarified further the evidences and proofs to show the errors of Faalih.
You found from Maktabah Salafiyyah on their websites, articles and sermons, that they explained the errors of Faalih al-Harbi and freed themselves from him just as they did with Abul-Hasan before him. Maktabah Salafiyyah deleted his translated articles and openly rebutted his errors.
Those who concoct these false rumours against Maktabah Salafiyyah are the same individuals who have connections to the Jam’iyyah Ahlel-Hadith (UK), or to QSS (USA), or with connections to Islamic organisations who support Abul-Hasan al-Ma’rabi such as Luton (UK), or the supporters of Jam’iyyah Ihya Turath al-Islami. They advertise and promote (on their mailing lists and websites) the speakers of Ihyaa Turaath and events orgainised by the Jam’iyyah Ahlel-Hadith (UK), and events organised by the supporters of Ma’rabi in Luton and so on. So it suites their agenda and goal to discredit Maktabah Salafiyyah so they can have a free hand thereafter to build up these dubious organisations in the West that misguide the Muslims.
