Ruling On Tabdee Yahya al-Hajoori - Al´Allâmah Muḥummed Ibn 'Abd Al-Wahhâb al-Wasâbî hafidhahullah

Question:

Is it true that you made Takfer upon Yahya al-Hajoori and what do have to say about Yahya al-Hajoori?

Answer:

This speech is false and it is not correct.

Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah does not make Takfeer upon the Muslims.

This matter is from the actions of the rawafid whom make Takfeer upon the Muslims. And from the creed of the khawarij, who make Takfeer upon a major sin. As for Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah  they do not make Takfeer upon a major sin. Al-Hajoori, we did not say, one of any days that he is a kaafir. 
The refuge Is With Allaah. 
But we said that he is an innovator. He has innovated into the Deen of Allah, which is not found (in the Deen). He has legislated legislatures for which Allah has sent down no authority.

"And whosoever starts in Islam an evil practice; he gets the evil of it, and the evil of all those that act on it until the day of resurrection, nothing will decrease from their burdens". (Sahih Muslim)

So, he has innovated into the Deen many innovations. And one of them, for example, if he differed with a person on a discretionary matter.

Just like the example of Shaykh Abd Al-Rahman al-Adeni. Is he a hizbi or not? He (al-Hajoori) says that he is a hizbi.

While the rest of the Shaykhs of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah said, “but rather is a Sunni, he is not a hizbi”.

So look at what he (al-Hajoori) did to the rest of the Shaykhs …

He made Tabdee on them, declared them to be astray, made Tafseeq on them, boycotted, abandoned, and he ordered his students to abandon the Scholars, they necessitated many obligations, and they distributed a lot of audio recordings.

We say to him “Oh you, this is a discretionary matter, and it is not a textual matter”.

He doesn’t have the position to pass down a verdict upon the individual declaring him to be a hizbi. This is your discretion and the positive conjecture is upon you – if you indeed had said this according to your discretion.

And if it wasn’t said (upon discretion), then you have said it upon desires.

So in order to assume that this is your discretion and others beside you have made their discretions and they said, “He is not a hizbi”. It is not allowed to declare one astray based upon discretionary matters.

And making Tabdee – innovator

Tahzeeb – declaring one a hizbi

Tafseeq – dissolute

Tafjeer – libertine

And by stating that “they are dissolute”, and that “they are libertines”.

And that, “they are this”, “they are that”, “they are abominable”, “they are traitors”.

This is a discretionary matter. Have shame on yourself.

So he has legislated this filthy innovation.

Abandoning, boycotting, orchestrating, not greeting or talking to each other, and if it happens to be for many years. All of this because of a discretionary matter. Upon him is to repent to Allah Azza Wa  Jal, from this innovation, which it is an astray innovation, and it is considered to be from the major sins, because he has lead many astray. If the Scholars did this, if the righteous predecessors – Salaf us Salih - did this, if the four Imams did this, there would be no cordiality between the Muslims.

This person sees one thing. Another person sees the opposition of that, boycotting, abandoning... there would be no cordiality between two. Thus the reason we have declared it to be an innovation.

Likewise from the innovations he has perpetrated.

Necessitating others to make Takleed of him.

The one who doesn’t speak upon a matter with his speech then he is to be abandoned, he is expelled and he is sick. Fear Allah, it is not permissible to necessitate the people to make Taqleed of you.

You are not a Prophet, nor are you an infallible Angel, nor do revelations come down on you. You are a human being.

Necessitating the people to make Taqleed of you. And asking them “what is your position”? Meaning if you don’t speak with his speech then you are expelled, abandoned, and you are considered sick. This is unjustly necessitating the people to make Taqleed of you.

Upon you (ya Hajoori) is the position of Shaykh Muqbil rahmetUllahi alejhi, as he used to warn against making Taqleed. From making Taqleed of you.

And you necessitate the people to make Taqleed of you. So in order to necessitate the the Shaykhs – if they cease to speak with your speech.

This is the innovation in the Deen.

Necessitating the people to make Taqleed.

Also necessitating the people to abandon others due to discretions from many of his innovations.

This, what we said is from the door of “the Deen is an admonishment – (Nasiha)”.

Allah Azza Wa Jal states,

“O you who have believed, be persistently standing firm for Allah , witnesses in justice, and do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness. And fear Allah ; indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.”(Al-Ma’idah 5:8)

The Refuge Is With Allah

That we don’t rule upon desires. As what he did, rule upon desires.

But what we say, is what we see that brings us closer to Allah Azza Wa Jal.

And that it is from the Deen. And “the Deen is an admonishment – (Nasiha)”.

And because this astray innovation, the innovation of abandoning (hexher) one another upon discretionary matters. If his students act upon this, then they are upon a detrimental error. They are upon a detrimental error in this world and in the After - Ahira.

“Or have they other deities who have ordained for them a religion to 
which Allah has not sent consented  ...” (Ash-Shuraa 42:21)

Likewise the innovation of necessitating the people to make Taqleed of him. This is an astray innovation for which  Allah has sent down no authority.

Allah Azza Wa Jal states:

“Follow, o mankind,what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember”. (Al-A’raf 7:3)
