Shaykh Abdul Muhsin al-Ubaykaan about Shaykh Rabee bin Hadee al-Madkhalee

Questioner:

What is your view on the books of Shaykh Rabee al-Madkhalee where in he speaks about the Manhaj of Sayid Qutb (rahimahoellah) and that he makes his Manhaj clear ?

Shaykh:

He asks Allah that he helps the noble Shaykh Rabee, and other Salafiy scholars with the right ‘Aqeedah of Tawheed and Manhadj of the Salaf were the prophet Sallahu alaihi wassalm and the rightly guided Khalifa’s, Companions and followers of them and the Imaams of Islaam were on defending this manhadj and making it clear and explainig it. He asks Allah that he helps these people. And he advises the Muslims and youth to stick to these kinds of Scholars, the Advisers, the Sincere, those who only want the reward of Allah Azza wa Jal. And that we don’t deviate with (wrong) ideas, that are not part of Knowledge or Fiqh and these ideas are not from the Manhaj Ahle Sunnah and not from the Imaam of the Salaf.
