So may Allaah reward Shaykh Sa'd for this solid book and comprehensive refutation upon the statements of 'Alee al-Halabee that are evidently in opposition to the Salafee manhaj.

quote:

Indeed, I read this refutation in its entirety within one day, with the virtue of Allaah, and saw what was in it from principles and debating with fairness and justice.  So I advise my brothers, the Salafees, to not have bigotry and start defending the refuted one through curses and slanders.  So by Allaah, everyone who opposes the truth and spreads this publicly and then is advised but does not recant, then it is obligatory upon the people of knowledge and their students to refute him.  So if some of them establish that, then the blame is removed from the rest.  So do not treat this communal obligation like it is a criminal act.  Do not treat enjoining the good and prohibiting the evil like it is evil itself.  And do not treat the one who refutes the opponent as if he is the opponent.

quote:

The new principles laid down by the one called 'Alee Ibn Hasan al-Halabee who has been described by the major Scholars as wretched and miserable, one who praises the misguided ones. Indeed, our noble brother Sa'd Ibn Fathee az-Za'taree - may Allaah raise him in this world and in the Hereafter - has embarked to refute some of his nonsensical statements and corrupt principles.  So he wrote this valuable treatise and titled it with the following title: Notification to the Intelligent about the Nonsensical Principles of 'Alee al-Halabee al-Miskeen.  So he uncovered therein 'Alee al-Halabee's crooked principles, through which he wants to either confuse the beginner students of knowledge, or he wants to pacify his own ignorant, bigoted companions.  Indeed, he has not ceased to assault and roam freely in the arena of ad-Da'watus-Salafiyyah.  And how else could he be after hospitably receiving the fattaan (deceiver) [Muhammad] Ibn Hassaan? And from that which the one named 'Alee al-Halabee has come with from invented principles, through which he desired to delude the youth who are inclined towards seeking beneficial knowledge.  So he plays games with them in order to confuse the truth and to conceal it from them by watering down the manhaj of the Salaf, thereby entering them into the dark tunnels of the innovators.

quote:

May Allaah reward Shaykh Hishaam al-'Aarif for his introduction to this treatise, which proves that he is 'aarif (knowledgeable) of the Salafee manhaj.

quote:

Indeed, I read the book in its entirety.  Its author achieved excellence therein and he exposed al-Halabee in many, numerous issues and he followed up al-Halabee in it correctly.  And it is a strong, knowledge-based refutation - maashaa` Allaahu ta'aalaa.  May Allaah reward its author with the best of rewards.

quote:

- Replies to 'Alee al-Halabee's claims that the Jarh wat-Ta'deel of today has no connection to the Jarh wat-Ta'deel of the past. - His claim that that al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel exists today, but it has changed its direction and is done for the wrong reasons. - His concealed attack upon the Salafees and their Scholars when he claims that today everyone speaks about al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel, regardless of whether they understand it or not. - His continued praise for the callers to misguidance such as, 'Adnaan 'Ar'oor, Muhammad al-Maghraawee, Aboo Ishaaq al-Huwaynee, Abul-Hasan al-Ma'ribee and Muhammad Hassaan and his acceptance of Hassaan's and others' tawbahs even though they do not fulfill the conditions of tawbah.

quote:

- 'Alee al-Halabee upholds the mumayyi'ee principle of seeking a consensus from all the Scholars before declaring an individual an innovator. - 'Alee al-Halabee's contention with the principle of Ahlus-Sunnah that the explained and elaborated criticism takes precedence over the general praise. - Al-Halabee's claims that the Muftee of Saudi Arabia praises Sayyid Qutb and quotes from his books, as do a number of Saudi Scholars. - Mashhoor Hasan Salmaan's praise for Yoosuf al-Qardaawee and Sayyid Qutb. - Al-Halabee's continued defense of Muhammad al-Maghraawee and his refusal to adopt the position of the Scholars against him. - Al-Halabee's claim that one can have a sound 'aqeedah and still oppose a foundation of the manhaj - thus differentiating between 'aqeedah and manhaj.

quote:

- 'Alee al-Halabee's continued defence of Jam'iyyah Ihyaa`ut-Turaath and his claim that they defend the 'aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah and aid the manhaj of Shaykh al-Albaanee - rahimahullaah. - Refutation of 'Alee al-Halabee's innovated principle: It is not permissible for us to make our disagreement with someone else besides us into a disagreement between us. - Halabee's continued disdain and belittlement for the science of al-Jarh wat-Ta'deel. - His rejection of the tradition of the Salaf and the Salafees in testing the people through their positions towards the Imaams of Ahlus-Sunnah.
