Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydan Praises and Defends Shaykh Rabee'
Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydaan, in a question answer session yesterday (21/01/2010CE) following a talk on the characteristics of at-Taa'ifat ul-Mansoorah and al-Firqat un-Naajiyah, was asked a question regarding Shaykh Rabee' bin Haadee al-Madkhali (audio quality is rather poor):
Question:
The Shaykh's Answer:
ثم إني أنصح الشباب أن يتجنبوا الوقيعة في أهل العلم ويكفوا ألسنتهم وأن يحرصوا على تقييم أنفسهم ثم إذا رأوا في أحد فيما يظنون عيبا فليفتشوا أنفسهم ولينظروا فيها فإذا وجدوا عيوبا فيحرصون على إصلاحها ...
Original source: Sahab.Net, translation (taken from the one posted on ST, with corrections made to it):
I read and I hear in some sittings a campaing slandering the noble scholar as-Shaikh Rabee' ibn Hadee al-Madkhalee and warnings against him, in addition to taking from him (knowledge), and that he is not from Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, which made me become confused in my affair (of seeking knowledge). So what is the ruling upon this, please clarify? Jazakumullaahu Khair.
He (Sheikh Saalih) answered:
There is no doubt that he (Shaikh Rabee') is from the people of knowledge, and he is from the students of our Shaykh, Shaykh Abdul 'Azeez (Ibn Baaz) (when they were) in Madinah, and he (Shaykh Rabee') used to be from the teachers of Madinah (Islamic) University. I do not know any deviations of him neither in Aqeedah nor in Akhlaaq (mannerism), rather my perception of him that he is good and that he is from the people of goodness, as well as being from those who battle the callers to fitnah.
Thereafter I advise the youth is to stay away from reviling the scholars, and to withhold their tongues (from reviling the scholars). Also let them (the youth) strive to assess themselves (to improve themselves). And then if they saw what they thought is a fault in someone, then let them investigate their own souls (first), and let them look into them, so if they saw faults (in their own souls), they should be eager to rectify them ...
