Qataadah ibn Di’aamah as-Suddoosee (died 118 A.H.) said:
((I have never said to a muhaddith: “repeat it to me” and nor have my ears ever heard anything except that it has settled upon my heart (i.e. I have memorised it).))

Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee said:
"By Allaah, knowledge has not died, nor have the scholars, all praise is due to Allaah; The Committee of Major Scholars [remains], there is goodness and blessing in them and to Allaah belongs all praise, our brothers in ash Sham, and our brothers in Yemen. The world is full of senior students of knowledge who will fill this void and all praise is due to Allaah, so the people of falsehood should not rejoice."

Is it permissible for a Salafee to pray in a Masjid which is not Salafee if they were to live right next to that Masjid and there was no Salafee Masjid in that vicinity?
I say: We - the people of Sunnah - hasten to unify the people and we avoid separation. This is what we understand from the book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet-صلى الله عليه و سلم- and the Imaams of guidance, knowledge and Eeman. Indeed the unification of the Muslims is one of the great objectives of Ahlus sunnah wal Jama’ah, rather it’s from the principals of their Deen and the perfection of their ‘Aqeedah However, this must be restricted with certain stipulations:
Firstly: We pray with innovators as long as we have the need to do so, and we should not subject ourselves to arguing and debating with them. Also, if we have the ability to teach Tawheed and the Sunnah in that Masjid we do so.
Secondly: These innovators, are they quiet and calm or do they show enmity and hatred to Ahlus sunnah? If they are from the first type (i.e. quiet, calm and not showing enmity to Ahlus sunnah – they openly display their innovation and they do not show enmity to Ahlus sunnah) then we pray with them and we give lessons in Tawheed, Sunnah, Fiqh and Hadeeth if we are allowed to do so. And it appears that this category of innovators will not prohibit [the lessons].
Thirdly: As for those who outwardly show hatred toward Ahlus sunnah and harm Ahlus sunnah, then we pray with them unless we find a Salafee Masjid or a Masjid where the people are innovators but are less [harmful]. So if a Salafee Masjid is found or a Masjid where the people are innovators but are less harmful then we pray in this Masjid.
Fourthly: Are these innovators outwardly displaying Bid’ah and calling to it or does each one of them keep his innovation to himself? Because the second is lighter and he is not harmful [to others]. His harm is upon himself.
Fifthly: Is this innovation Mukaffirah [1] or Mufassiqah [2]?
If it is Mukaffirah and the proof has been established against him then we do not pray behind him even if we have to pray in our homes.
However, if it is Mufassaqah like the innovation of the ‘Asharees or the innovation of Tableeqh or the Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, then we pray behind them except if they show enmity towards the Sunnah and harm the people of the Sunnah then it is as I have previously mentioned.
As for the one whose innovation is Mukaffirah and the proof against him has been established by an entrusted scholar who has the ability to explain [the relevant issue] then we do not pray behind him. And from the innovations that are Mukaffirah:
(1) The belief that the Qur’an was created;
(2) Wihdatul wujood;
(3) the Baatiniyyah
...these are innovations which are Mukaffirah.
We advise them, and if they refuse [to accept the advice] we leave them and we don’t pray with them. Rather, we pray in a Salafee Masjid or a Masjid where the people are innovators but are less [harmful]. So if we don’t find this or that then we pray in our homes. And Allaah is the Granter of Tawfeeq.
[1] The innovation that in itself is disbelief and removes one from the fold of Islam.
[2] An innovation that is an act of disobedience less than disbelief and in turn does not remove one from the fold of Islam.

هل يجوز لسلفي أن يصلي في مسجد غير سلفي إذا كان بيته جنب المسجد و لا يوجد في تلك القرية مسجد سلفي؟ و جزاكم الله خيرا. |
أقول نحن معشر أهل السنة نسعى في جمع الكلمة و لا نسعى في تفريقها. هذا الذي فهمناه من كتاب ربنا و من سنة نبينا و من أئمة الهدى و العلم و الإيمان. فإنّ جمع كلمة المسلمين مقصد عظيم من مقاصد أهل السنة و الجماعة بل هو من أصول دينهم و من مكملات عقيدتهم. و لكن لا بد أن يقيد ذلك بقيود:
الأول: أنّ هؤلاء المبتدعة نصلي معهم ما دمنا محتاجين إلى الصلاة معهم و لا نُعرّض أنفسنا لمخاصمتهم. و إذا تمكنا من تدريس التوحيد و السنة في ذلك المسجد فعلنا
ثانياً: هؤلاء المبتدعة هل هم هادئون ساكنون أو يظهرون عداوة أهل السنة؟ فإن كانوا من القسم الأول من أنهم هادئون ساكنون لا يظهرون عداوة أهل السنة – يظهرون بدعهم و لا يعادون أهل السنة – كذلك صلينا معهم و ألقينا دروساً في التوحيد و السنة و الفقه و الحديث إذا تمكنا من ذلك. و الظاهر أن هذا القسم من الناس من المبتدعة لا يمنعون.
[ثالثاً]: أما إن كانوا مظهرين لعداوة السنة و أهلها و يؤذون أهل السنة فنحن نصلي معهم إلا إذا وجدنا مسجدا سلفيا أومسجدا أهله مبتدعة و لكنهم أخف. فإذا وُجد مسجد سلفي أو مسجد أهله مبتدعة لكنهم أخف ضررا على أهل السنة فنحن نصلي في هذا المسجد.
الأمر الرابع: هل هؤلاء المبتدعة مظهرون للبدعة و يدعون إليها أو كل واحد بدعته في نفسه؟ فالثاني أخف و ليس فيه ضرر. ضرره على نفسه.
الخامس: هل هذه البدعة مكفرة أو مفسقة؟ فإن كانت مكفرة و قامت عليه الحجة فنحن لا نصلي خلفه و لو صلينا في بيوتنا. أما إن كانت مفسقة كبدعة الأشاعرة، أو بدعة التبليغ، أو بدعة الإخوان المسلمين فهؤلاء نصلي خلفهم إلا إذا كانوا يظهرون عداوة السنة و أهلها و يؤذون أهل السنة فكما قدمت لكم.
أما صاحب البدعة المكفرة الذي قامت عليه الحجة من عالم موثوق يحسن البيان فنحن لا نصلي خلفه. و من البدع المكفرة: القول بخلق القرآن، و القول بوحدة الوجود، و الباطنية، فهذه بدع مكفرة. نناصحهم فإن أبوا تركناهم و لا نصلي معهم بل نصلي في مسجد سلفي أو مسجد أهله على بدعة و لكنهم أخف. فإذا لم نجد هذا و لا هذا صلينا في بيوتنا و الله الموفق |
