Baraa'ah Ulamaa il-Ummah Min Tazkiyah Ahl il-Bid'ah wal-Mudhammah
To the right is the cover for the second edition of "Baraa'ah Ulamaa il-Ummah Min Tazkiyah Ahl il-Bid'ah wal-Mudhammah" (The Innocence of the Scholars of the Ummah from the Commendation of the People of Innovation and Censure). This book was prepared by Isaam bin Abdullaah as-Sinaanee. It contains a refutation of the one who used the intercession of Shaykh Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) for Sayyid Qutb as a proof for the 'adaalah (integrity) of Sayyid Qutb and commendation of his (Qutb's) manhaj, when it is not a proof at all. The book, after compilation and authorship was sent to Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan who checked over it and made recommendations, and also suggested an improvement to the title of the book. Then it was read by Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah), who made his own written notes on the pre-print copy that was sent to him, and he also advised that the section titled "The Salafi Manhaj", should be placed before "The Qutubi Manhaj" and not after it, unless the author had a specific reason for doing that. And images of these hand-written notes are included at the end of the book. We will be quoting from this book inshaa'Allaah in this series. Both of these scholars endorsed the contents of this book and the purpose for which it was to be published and distributed. And the purpose is clearly outlined in the title of the book itself. Namely, to declare the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah free and innocent (in particular Imaam Ibn Baaz, and the other scholars in general) of having made tazkiyah (i.e. given adaalah) to those who are from the people of innovation: In this case Sayyid Qutb, who aside from writing his commentary on the Qur'an upon an Ash'arite creed, added other great calamities, some of which are serious enough that they cannot really be excused by mere ignorance, such as accusing the Scribe of the Prophet (alayhis salaam) the Uncle of the Believers, Mu'awiyah - whose integrity is attested to by the Prophet himself - of treachery, deception and hypocrisy. And this book essentially sunk their ship, leaving them only the flotsam to hold onto thereafter, which is what they have been doing since then.
Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan's Checking of the Book The author, Isaam bin Abdullaah as-Sinaanee, mentions on page 27 (2nd edition):
Then I (also) thank the esteemed Shaykh, the Allaamah, Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) for undertaking the reading of this "Baraa'ah", and for his precious [written] comments upon it... [to the end] ... And here is the copy of the letter sent by the author to the Shaykh and the Shaykh's response, on the letter itself:
And the author wrote to Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan saying: Then I (also) thank the esteemed Shaykh, the Allaamah, Saalih al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) for undertaking the reading of this "Baraa'ah", and for his precious [written] comments upon it... [to the end] ...
...these are some fataawaa that I added upon the treatise "Baraa'ah Ulamaa il-Ummah min Tazkiyah Ahl il-Bid'ah wal-Mudhammah" in handwritten script... and the brother Abdur-Rahmaan al-Aamir had submitted a deficient manuscript to you, so I wanted to show to you what has been [made] as an addition to it, may Allaah preserve you as a treasure for the people of Islaam and as a armour against the people of transgression, and may Allaah bless your actions and your life, and as-salaamu alaykum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh. Then the Shaykh sent the manuscript back with a written note on the same letter:
Wa alaykum us-salaam warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh, to proceed: I rad the enclosed papers, and I have some [written] comments upon them, I hope you observe them, may Allah grant you success. Saalih al-Fawzaan [signature], 25/2/1421H. This was to corroborate that the Shaykh checked the book. Now moving on to the subject, it is similar to what was said regarding Shaykh al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) - see here - and the same can be said about Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan. Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan Affirms That there is a Qutbi Manhaj, That it is Deviant and that It is Other than the Salafi Manhaj and that They Can Never Meet and that The Distance Between them is Like that Between the East and West The author included a section regarding the difference between the Salafi Manhaj and the Qutbi Manhaj, and these are the relevant pages from the book(pp. 110-113, 2nd edition)
And in the first edition they appear on pages 115-119. Inshaa'Allaah these can be translated as a separate article, but from the above, the following should be noted:
It is apparent from all of the above that Shaykh al-Fawzaan would have to be considered - upon the language and understanding of the Takfiris and Qutbis - a "Madkhali" scholar, except that these people are too cowardly to express their denigration of the Shaykh in this manner, because then all people would know of their misguidance and fraud in claiming to be upon the Salafi aqidah and Salafi Manhaj. Their attempt at using the label "Madkhali" to deceive the people and to protect the grave-frequenting soofees, and Ash'aris who brought them their methodologies has come to its end walhamdulillaah, and it is clear that their outward attachment to the Salafi aqidah is only a means by which the aqidah of Sayyid Qutb (see here), and the methodologies of Qutb and Banna can be introduced to people in order to effect Leninist-type revolutions in the Muslim lands. In fact on their forums and blogs they explicitly state this, they don't even hide the fact that the ideologies and methodologies of secular atheist Jews are their chosen preferred method above and over the methodologies of the Prophets, and the sayings of Imaam Malik (rahimahullaah), "The latter part of this Ummah will not be rectified except by that which rectified its earlier part". But alhamdulillaah, the Scholars of Ahl us-Sunnah, by the end of the 1990s and the early 21st century, exposed these people and their wishes and desires crumbled, turning into gaseous matter. This is why these people have so much hatred, enmity and resentment, you can read it and see it in their actions. But to avoid people recognizing their corruption, they scapegoat just one Scholar, whereas in reality, their hate, anger and resentment is towards all the Scholars.
