All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of mankind, Jinn and all that exists. And may Allaah’s salutations of peace and blessings be upon our noble Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions. To proceed: Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) stated:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

“O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are truthful’’ [9:119]

”Be with those who are truthful” in their statements, actions and state of affairs. Those whose statements are truthful, and their actions and state of affairs are not except truth—free from negligence and laxity, safe from evil goals and gathered upon sincerity (to Allaah) and a sincere intention; for indeed truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to paradise. [See Tafseer of Imaam as-Saa’di]

The reason for this clarification is so that there remains no doubt in Mourad’s heart and mind that I am totally free from his blameworthy stances. I made it known to him few months ago to refer to Shaikh Rabee and address his concerns regarding the affair of Al-Hajoori. However, in one of Mourad’s recent emails dated 12/12/1434 (12/10/2013) -which was filled with much weak arguments against those who oppose Al-Hajoori–he stated: ”Our brother Naeem from Stoke – May Allaah rectify him and open his heart to consider my honest advice to him”

Firstly: What advise does Mourad want me to take into consideration…? Verily! I seek the protection of Allaah from abandoning the knowledge based refutations of the scholars and fall into the evil path of the hajaawira.    

Secondly: Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah) stated: “If you loved a man for Allaah and then he innovated in Islaam and you didn’t hate him for it, you never truly loved him for Allaah.” (http://maktabah-alfawaaid.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/ath-thawree-if-you-loved-man-for-allaah.html)

Verily! There is no shame or blame on an individual when he returns to correctness after falling into error. Al-Hajoori has innovated and persisted upon falsehood, yet Mourad, you have persisted upon a futile defence of him whilst waging a blameworthy war against those who have accepted the knowledge based refutations. It was/is incumbent upon you to abandon this innovator, and not persist upon this grave error. Therefore a reminder again from Imaam Sufyaan Ath-Thawri (rahimahullaah): “If you loved a man for Allaah and then he innovated in Islaam and you didn’t hate him for it, you never truly loved him for Allaah.” So just as it is not befitting that you maintain ties with this innovator (al-Hajoori), likewise it is not befitting that I should maintain any ties with you whilst you persist upon defending this Haddaadi. His errors are well documented and clear and (if it requires more proof) then you can see here: http://www.alhajuri.com/index.cfm

Perhaps some people may say:”Mourad benefited you in the past.”… then my answer to them is this:

“What Allaah decreed of past events have elapsed…. and Allaah does not cause the good deeds to be lost, but at present Mourad is persistent in his defence of an innovator, and I will not have any associations with a person who knowingly defends an innovator and attacks those who clarify the truth from the scholars and students after the evils of such an innovator have been made manifestly clear.”

So return to the truth! It is not befitting for a Muslim that he clings to error after its clarification! It is not befitting for a Muslim that he defends any innovator….let alone Yahyah Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi?!

I sincerely advise you to stop attacking the Mashaayikh, the students of knowledge and the Maraakiz for the sake of defending Al-Hajoori. Return to correctness and this will be better for you; but if you persist upon this path, then know that neither you nor Al-Hajoori are able to harm the truth, its scholars and adherents in the least.

Advice was sent to you a few months ago to seek clarification from Shaikh Rabee; but Allaah knows best whether you heeded that advice. Your state of affairs at present is very bad because you have persisted in sheltering an innovator worse than Al-Halabi and Al-Maribi, as Shaikh Rabee said: ‘’There is none more harmful than Yahyah.’’

Contemplate and do not allow the great deceiver (shaytaan) to deceive you. Your recent mention of my name in your email should leave no doubt in your mind that my stance towards the hajaawira is very clear, and it is the same as that of the rest of the Maraakiz.

So be informed that I am totally in agreement with Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi, Al-Allaamah Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiri, Al-Allaamah Muhammad Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali and the rest of the Mashaayikh against the hajaawirah. I am in agreement with the students of knowledge in the various Maraakiz of Salafiyyah, such as Abu Hakeem, Abu Khadeejah, Abu Idrees, Abu Iyaad, Abdul-Ilaah, Uwais Taweel, Abu Mu-aadh Taqweem Aslam and others- against Al-Hajoori. I am totally in agreement with the Committees of all the Salafi Maraakiz that signed this document http://salaficentre.com/2013/05/a-united-word-from-ahlus-sunnah-in-britain-regarding-yahyah-al-hajooree/ against Al-Hajoori.

So let it be known to everyone that I am free from Mourad al-Jazaa’iri until he abandons his futile defence of Al-Hajoori. I will not engage in any communications in debating or arguing over this affair with you whatsoever in any capacity, rather all that is required is that you alter your ways and return to the truth. I therefore will not accept any attempts to waste my time and do not mention me in your emails until you return to the truth and abandon the hajaawira. May Allaah rectify the affairs and unite the hearts upon truth. And Allaah knows best.
