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.

Imaam Shaafi-ee (rahimahullaah) said:


''Allaah did not burden us with taking our religion from one who is unknown''

In The Name Of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower Of Mercy



Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) stated in Majaalis Shahru Ramadaan: page:14-15)


Indeed, fasting is beloved to Allaah, and for that reason the fasting person must purify his intention in his fasting for Allaah’s sake; He should intend (with his fasting) to draw close to Allaah and (should) exercise patience upon that which he witnesses of difficulty in his fasting, because he is (doing so) in obedience to Allaah.



Also fasting is not a mere abandonment of food and drink and the desire for them, but alongside that is (also) abandonment of everything that Allaah has forbidden. The hearing is to be protected from that which is not permissible to be heard of back biting, tale-carrying, music, musical instruments and wind instruments. All this is forbidden throughout the year, but with regards to the fasting person the prohibition of these things is intensified, because they have an effect on his fasting.


Likewise, he protects his tongue from forbidden speech (such) as backbiting, tale carrying, verbal abuse, vilification and false witness. And even though this is forbidden throughout the year, however its prohibition is intensified and is a greater sin in a state of fasting; because it harms his fasting.[end of quote]

Hishaam Bin Urwah (rahimahullaah) used to say:

''Do not question the people about what they have innovated today, because they have prepared answers for it; rather ask them about the Sunnah, because they do not know it.''

Question: Is is from the Sunnah to hide one's identity whilst transmitting narrations and bearing witness to reports?! We ask Allaah for Ikhlaas, sidq and istiqaamah

[abdullah.gambi]

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (hafidha-hullaah) said:


‘’There is not in knowledge anything that is foolishness, recklessness, lying, insult and its likes from the manners of the people of oppression and desires, rather knowledge is clarification of the truth and disapproval of falsehood. Imaam Al-Awzaa-ee (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’Knowledge is that which the companions of Muhammad came with, and that which not a single one of them came with is not knowledge.’’
