Questions
to Shaykh Falaah Bin Ismaa'eel Al-Mundikaar
Concerning Shadeed Muhammad

A beautiful sitting conducted 2011.02.06 with the community of Masjid al-Ikhwaah in New York, USA (may Allaah bless them and give them safety). Important questions and principles for the listener to understand. A blessing for the Muslims in America.

Questions:

[Q1]:
What do we say about the one who calls to that which is named "taking steps in the affair of da'wah" and that which he uses as a proof is that the prohibition of intoxication came in stages, so he says "when a person enters Islaam we give him time to learn his deen, to grow his beard or we give her time to wear hijaab, this is the true islamic methodology."

[Q2]:
A person who is a caller in America says, we wonder why the numbers of the hizbees are increasing. It is not because of the large number in their masjids or because of their carpets and rugs, rather it is becuase they treat people nicely, say what you like about Jamaa'atut-Tableegh but they have good character. If they want you to go out with them for forty days, perhaps they will give you money, and I say with all seriousness, they will even pay for your food or even have one of their wives wash your clothes, they may even marry you (off) for the purpose of you going out with them for da'wah. But if a person comes to the masjid to learn salafiyyah, the first thing that comes from our mouths is 'why don't you have a beard', 'why are your pants in the hellfire', 'why are your pants below your ankle' the person may not even pray but all we care about is that the person doesn't have a lihyah (beard), how do we answer the likes of this statement from one who says that he is salafee?

[Q3]:
Is it permissible for someone to take knowledge from someone who holds the aforementioned position? [The Shaykh interjects asking who makes these claims...the translator mentions that his name is Shadeed Muhammad, Shaykh Falaah also discusses the impermissibility of taking names such as Shadeed (severe) as a forename]

The Shaykh also discusses the new and crazy principles of Yusuf Qaradawi and delivers heart-felt advice concerning preserving this pure, beautiful deen from the many pitfalls surrounding us today.

The Shaykh also highlighted the similitude of Shadeed Muhammad's approach to that of the da'wah of the ikhwaanul-muslimoon and that he (Shadeed) is from them, for he is like them when he is 'shadeed' (severe) upon Ahlus-Sunnah, criticising and fighting then, whilst sahl (easy) with Ahlul-Bid'ah, praising and extoling them (traits of the Ikhwaanee da'wah).

The Shaykh concludes by discussing the dangerous principle that Shadeed Muhammad adopts: 'differing is rahmah for the ummah' (based on a fabricated hadeeth) and how it leads to the acceptance of all the corrupt methodologies under cooperation and ease.
