Scholars: Errors in Manhaj Follow Errors in 'Aqeedah
Shaikh al-'Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) said:-----> http://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/articles/xyzse-shaykh-ibn-uthaymeen-errors-in-manhaj-occur-due-to-underlying-errors-in-aqidah.cfm...and when a person takes a manhaj that opposes the manhaj of the Messenger (alayhis salaatu was salaam), and his rightly-guided Caliphs, then its meaning is that his aqidah is not sound. Otherwise, when the aqidah is sound, the manhaj too will be sound.
Shaikh 'Ubaid al-Jaabiree (hafidhahullaah) said:------> http://www.manhaj.com/manhaj/articles/otddj-shaykh-ubayd-al-jaabiree-on-differentiating-between-aqidah-and-manhaj.cfm
And Islaam is brought together (composed) of these two, (a) the soundness, correctness in aqidah, and (b) the soundness and safety in manhaj. Therefore, one of them cannot be separated from the other.
The person whose manhaj is corrupt, have trust that this follows on from the corruption in his aqidah. When the aqidah is upright, in the correct way, then the manhaj will also be upright.
For the manhaj of the Khawaarij became corrupt because of the corruption in their aqidah. They held the belief of the lawfulness of the blood of those who commit major sins, and thus they permitted fighting and killing them and revolting against the sinful disobedient rulers. They made lawful the taking of blood and wealth. It is for this reason that it was said "They are disbelievers" by whoever said this from the people of knowledge (i.e. because they, the khawaarij made lawful what Allaah made unlawful, the taking of the blood of a Muslim upon other than a due right).
