Dear brothers & Sisters,
Does anyone know if the commentary of "Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf" on Riyaadh us-Saaliheen (which is published in English and sold in a 2-Volume set by DarusSalam) is saheeh or if "Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf" is a salafi? This book is apparently the same as the PDF "Riyad us-Saliheen" that is on some websites.
I ask because we have been reading it in our Masjid (not a Salafi masjid) daily after 'Isha and although there are some things which I believe have been explained correctly, there are some others which I do not know whether the commentary is correct or not.
JazaakumAllahu khayraa in advance.
quote:
A painter will be punished for his paintings according to the number of his products. The greater the number of paintings he has produced, the more would be the punishment. Thus, there is a great warning for those who make films and photographs on marriages and functions because they make photographs of hundreds or thousands of persons at a time. If, in spite of knowing that this act is unlawful in Shari'ah, they do it on account of slackness on their part, they shall have to suffer heavy punishment for it in Hell. If they think that it is permissible in Islam, while it is forbidden, they would be regarded infidels and abide in Hell.

Is the above quote from Darus-Salaam Riyad-us-Saliheen by Salahudin Yusuf?
------
Say: "Truly, my Lord has guided me to a Straight Path, a right religion, the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham), Hanifa [i.e. the true Islımic Monotheism - to believe in One God (Allıh i.e. to worship none but Allıh, Alone)] and he was not of polytheis

How does the above quote explain whether the commentary is fine or not?
Could a brother please explain.
It is a violation of our core beliefs that give us distinction and seperate us from the Khawaarij.
Firstly, we do not believe that a sinner will have to suffer punishment for his sins in Hell, rather, Ahlus-Sunnah say: We fear for the sinful one the horrible outcome of sins of the Day of Standing, we pray for him, knowing that Allaah can forgive whomever He likes (without their repentance) as long as he did not violate his Islaam with shirk or apostasy.
Secondly, to say that a person who believes that making images using film and photography is permissible is regarded as an infidel is a huge mistake. It is obvious that some very notable scholars, the likes of Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have Mercy on him), said that photography is not making new images and that it is only capturing images as they are, and thus not "picture-making", and not haraam. Whether or not you agree with this position, it is not an issue that anyone could possibly use to nullify someone's claim to Islaam!
And Allaah knows best.
