Al-Shaykh al-ʿAllāmah Muḥammad Amān al-Jāmī (may Allāh have mercy upon him) was asked: A student of knowledge asks how should he seek knowledge, how should he study the books that he is studying and how should he stick to the scholars?
Whoever desires to seek knowledge should totally turn away from all manifestations of political incitement and they should start by memorizing the smaller books. They should begin with the three fundamental principles and they should pay no attention to the rabble rousers who say: “Until when will we say: ‘Know may Allāh have mercy upon you?’ Will you say thi…
Since the latecomer to the congregational prayer does not count the rakʿah unless he has joined during the rukūʿ, some people believe that if they come after the rukūʿ there is no point in joining the prayer until the imām stands back up for the next rakʿah, even if it means standing there looking around for a long time while the congregation makes tashahhud!
Here’s why this is forbidden from a four-fold textual standpoint:
1) The generality of the ḥadīth which is found in al-Bukhārī and Muslim:
”The imām has only been appointed to be followed…”

Verily! You (‘O Muḥammad, ﷺ) guide not whom you love, but Allāh guides whom He wills. And He knows best those who are the guided.” I (Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān) say: The negated thing here is guidance of tawfīq and acceptance. For verily that matter is only for Allāh and He alone has power over that. And as for the guidance mentioned in the statement of Allāh taʿālá: “And verily you (‘O Muḥammad) are indeed guiding (mankind) to the straight path” this is referring to the guidance of showing and clarification. So he (ﷺ) clarifies matters regarding Allāh and he shows the way of His dīn and His leg…
After mentioning that those who deviate from the orders of Allāh are in categories Ibn Qudama al Maqdisi (d. 689 Hijra) mentioned:
Section Two: The innovator, if he is one who calls toward innovation and the innovation is from those that will make him a disbeliever (bidʿah mukaffarah), then his matter is more severe than that of a Thimmi because he would neither agree to pay the Jizyah nor would he make an agreement to live as a Thimmi.
And if it is that his innovation does not make him a disbeliever, then the affair between himself and Allāh is less severe than the situation of the Kāfir…

This is deception to the woman and dishonesty and misleading her; and if a man came to his daughter or his sister and he knew that he did not want her except for this purpose he would not allow him to marry her, but when it comes to other people’s daughters he does whatever he wants.

ʿImrān ibn Hitān, al-Sunnī (meaning that he was a sunnī) thumma (then he became a) al-Khārijī: He adopted the madh`hab of the khawārij during the later stages of his life. The reason for that was his cousin (female) was of the madh`hab of the khawārij, so he wanted to make her change; however, she ended up making him change to her madh`hab!1
Ibn Kathīr further stated:
“ʿImrān ibn Hitān Al-Khārijī: At first he was from Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah. However he married a very beautiful woman from the Khawārij and he loved her immensely, whereas he was unattractive. Thus he wanted to change her to…
However, it is obligatory to differentiate between the legislated Jihād which Allāh and His Messenger has commanded and the innovated Jihād which is the Jihād (waged by) misguided individuals who perform Jihād in obedience to the Devil but they believe that they are performing Jihād in obedience to the Most Merciful (al-Raḥmān). This is like the Jihād of the people of innovation and desires such as the Khawārij and other than them who fight against the people of Islām…
