my dear brother in islaam, it seems a commen occurance that once one gains even a minor understanding of this blessed methodology that most of those whom we used to think were "clearly" salafee were actually hiding major points of manhaj from the non-arabic speaking public the whole time. May Allaah reward those noble muslims who have exposed these misguided ones and helped to purify the deen!
Inshallaah the first and second link is an excellent detailed compilation of the statements of the Salaf regards to prohibition of reading the books of Ahlul-Bid'ah.
Assalaamu Alaikum Could someone please bring fourth the proof ,if there is any, making it impermissable to read the books authored by those who were once upon the proper minhaj and who aqeedah we thought was right, but now and after having been made clear are a people who are astray! (Abdur Rahman Abdul Khaliq,Bilal Philips,Jamal din Zarobozo,Abu muslimah..tapes,Muhammad Adly..tapes,Abu usammah..tapes and the rest of those who have fell into such an unfortunate affair.
Jazakullah khair
