Title: Q & A with al-?Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahya an-Najmee
Translated by: Aboo Aaliyah ?Abdullaah ibn Dwight Battle

Our Questions to the Shaykh Question 1: We have a concern here in America with some of our brothers upon Salafiyyah. As some of them, open Masaajid upon the basis that the local Masaajid don?t have Imaams who are Salafee. For this reason alone, they establish their own Masaajid. However, with great regret those brothers that enter into this affair do not have knowledge; so much so, that most of them have not committed even one Juz of Qur?aan to memory. At this point, we even hear from the general people from among the Muslims say, ?The character of the Salafiyyoon is (like) that of the Khawaarij?, this is because they leave the Masaajid of the Muslims and as a result of that are viewed as being hasty. We need your advice concerning this issue. Give us some benefit and may Allaah give you benefit, Aameen.
Question 2: Shaykh, we live here in America and we have come across the Hadeeth concerning the Muslim who dies without having the Bay?ah, dies upon the death of Jahiliyyah?
Question 3: Is there any benefit in us opening a store for the sale of Islaamic books and tapes in order to profit from them financially?
Question 4: What is the condition of Fawzee al-Atharee?
