Shaykh Al-Arifi | Tablighi Jamaat [ENG]

In this short translated video, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Arifi talks about the Tablighi Jamaat and what his opinion is about them. To summarize, he said that the Tablighi Jamaat are on the correct Aqeedah, and they are doing a great activity and he recommends people to join them.

I recommend everyone to read his book, "Enjoy your Life", available in Arabic, English and Urdu.

Shaykh Al-Arifi was just giving general advice, and he was advising all those who do Dawah, and said that the Tablighi Jamaat are fine as long as they refrain from these acts, he never said they do these acts, just to make sure they stay away from them. And at the end he said "Inshallah, they are on good". And Allah knows best.

Salih al-Uthaymeen Fatwa views Tablighi Jamaat/Jamatut Tabligh
Sheikh Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Saalih ibn Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymeen at-Tamimi (Arabic: أبو عبد الله محمد بن صالح بن محمد بن سليمان بن عبد الرحمن العثيمين التميمي) (March 9, 1925 – January 10, 2001)
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen has opined 
in a balanced manner on Tablighi jamaat in these words.
Question: I have started to become committed recently, praise be to Allaah. In our area there is the Jamaa?at al-Tableegh, who go out for thirty days or more. People say different things about them. Some say, don't go out with them, because their going out is an innovation (bidah) and they have some mistaken ideas. Others advised me to go out with them. What is the correct view concerning that? Should I go out with them or not?. 
HIS ANSWER (Al-Baab al-Maftooh, no. 10, P. 304.)

Answer: Praise be to Allaah. We have already discussed this group and some of their pros and cons.

Usually in every issue there are two extremes and a middle way. Some people praise this group a great deal and encourage going out with them; others condemn them a great deal and warn against them more than they would warn you about a lion. And some people tread a middle path between those two extremes. 

I think that there is some good in this group; they call others to Islam and have a clear influence that no other daaiyahs have had. Many kaafirs have become believers at their hands, and many evil doers has Allaah guided through them.

Moreover they have an attitude of humility and selflessness that is not found in many others.

Some people say that they have no knowledge of hadeeth, and so on.

They are undoubtedly good people, but I think that those of them who are in Saudi do not go to Pakistan or other countries, and we do not know anything about the aqeedah of those people (in other countries) or their manhaj (methodology). But there is nothing wrong with the manhaj followed by our companions here in Saudi.

With regard to limiting dawah to three or four days, or to two or four or six months, or two years, there is no sharaee evidence for that. But they think that this has to do with organization (of groups). If a person goes out for three days, and knows that he is limited to these three days, he will focus his mind and forget about worldly matters. 
This is the matter of organization, and is not an act of worship or a matter of shareeah.

I think, may Allaah bless you, that if you have the opportunity to seek knowledge then it is better to do that, because seeking knowledge is good and the people nowadays have a great need for scholars who have knowledge of the Sunnah and who are well-versed in knowledge. 
If you are not able to seek knowledge, and you go out with them in order to purify yourself, there is nothing wrong with that. 
There are many people whom Allaah has guided at their hands.

 And Allaah is the Source of strength

One of those videos where you don't know to give a thumbs up or a thumbs down - because the advice was not well researched - again its the old grouse, worshiping graves? Since when. Come on, Ulamah's need to be more responsible, hardly it would take less than a 1000 dollars to visit India and know for themselves first hand.
