Fataawah Of The Scholars On Unknown Narrators, Slanderers And People Of Ghebah



The Statement of Sheikh Saalih al-Fawzaan



Questioner: “A simple question, there is a website on the internet on which there is someone writing things with an anonymous name, rather he says, ‘I am unlisted’, and he speaks ill of some of the salafee callers and accuses them of sins and says that it is impermissible to take knowledge from them…”


The Sheikh [interjecting]: “Leave him off, the sin is upon him, the sin is upon him.”


Questioner: “We wanted of sheikh to clarify to the common people that his word is not accepted…”


The Sheikh [interjecting]: “Never!”


Questioner: “Sheikh we don’t even know his name…”


The Sheikh said: “…Never! Leave him.” [End of the Q&A with Sheikh Fawzaan] [2]





The Statement of Sheikh Muhammad bin Haadee



Questioner: There is a website on the internet where there is an unknown person posting in an anonymous name, he claims to be purifying the da’wah salafiyyah in the West with accusations against many of the well known salafee callers and their centers.


Sheikh interjects: “Accuses them of what?”


Questioner:He accuses them of sins like intermingling with women, going to the movies, accusations of theft, and even accusing some of them of fornication, and that some of them are people of lusts and desires because they marry and divorce women and therefore unfit to lead the da’wah but he has never brought forward any witness for his claims against these salafee callers and organizations and he himself remains unknown to the people. When it is said to him that mentioning and exposing the sins of the Muslims is not permissible he replies with the speech of An-Nawawee in Riyaadus-Saaliheen of the permissibility to backbite the callers and narrators and to mention and expose their sins for the general good…”


Sheikh interjects: “This is not accepted, this is not accepted. Because this one is unknown, and his reports are rejected, and that’s it. Baarakallahu feekum.” [End of Q&A with Sheikh Muhammad] [3]




The Statement of Sheikh Ubaid Al-Jaabiree


Questioner: There is a website on the internet where there is an unknown person posting in an anonymous name, he claims to be purifying the da’wah salafiyyah in the West with accusations against many of the well known salafee callers and their centers. He accuses them of sins like intermingling with women, going to the movies, accusations of theft, and even accusing some of them of fornication…


Sheikh [interjecting]: “A udhu billah. First of all he is unknown, and second he has merely made accusations, so his reports are rejected. So abandon him at once, leave him, this one is unknown and has nothing with him but accusations, and if he was a person of the Sunnah he would spread the sunnah, if he was a person of the sunnah he would spread sunnah.”


Questioner: “Like this Sheikh he uses the speech of An-Nawawee that it is permissible to backbite the callers because this is for the common good.”


The Sheikh: “This one does not understand anything, this one is a La’aab (a prankster), I say that this one is a Shaytaan (a devil), An-Nawawee mentioned six instances where gheebah is permitted, from them an innovator, refuting him and warning against him, and there is no gheebah with [regards to] him, from them for example witnessing, for example if someone lays a claim against another person and you are a witness to it then you testify to that, this is it baarakallahu feek. Go to Riyadus-Saaliheen and look at it. This one does not understand anything , this one is a La’aab (prankster), La’aab (a prankster don’t concern yourselves with him, seek refuge with Allah, and cling to the sunnah and don’t concern yourselves with him.” [End of Q&A with Sheikh Ubaid][4]



Wallaahul Musta-aan! To this day the followers of deires still hide behind hidden identities and slander the Salafis.
