the Chief Innovator of Our Time

by Sh. G F Haddad
[with a typical reaction to the text]:[his deviant approach to hadith]:
Nasir al-Albani is the arch-innovator of the Wahhabis and 'Salafis' in ourtime. A watch repairman by trade, al-Albani is a self-taught claimant tohadith scholarship who has no known teacher in any of the Islamic sciencesand has admitted not to have memorized the Book of Allah nor any book ofhadith, fiqh, `aqîda, usûl, or grammar. He achieved fame by attacking thegreat scholars of Ahl al-Sunna and reviling the science of fiqh withespecial malice towards the school of his father who was a Hanafi jurist.A rabid reviler of the Friends of Allah and the Sufis, he was expelledfrom Syria then Saudi Arabia and lived in Amman, Jordan under house arrestuntil his death in 1999. He remains the qibla of the people of Innovation,self-styled re-formers of Islam, and other 'Salafi' and Wahhabisympathizers, and the preferred author of book merchants and manyuneducated Muslims. Most of the contemporary Sunni scholars warned of hisheresy and many of them wrote articles or full-length works against himsuch as:

Among Albani's innovations in the Religion:

1- In his book Adab al-Zafaf he prohibits women from wearing goldjewelry - rings, bracelets, and chains - despite the Consensus of theUlema permitting it.

2- He claims that 2.5% zakât is not due on money obtained from commerce,i.e. the main activity whereby money circulates among Muslims.

3- He absolutely prohibits fasting on Saturdays.

4- He prohibits retreat (i`tikaf) in any but the Three Mosques.

5- He claims that it is lawful to eat in Ramadan before Maghrib as definedby the Law, and similarly after the true dawn.

6- He compares Hanafi fiqh to the Gospel.1

7- He calls people to imitate him rather than the Imams of the Salaf suchas the founders of the Four Schools, and his followers invalidate thehadiths that contradict his views.

8- He prohibits the make-up performance of prayers missed intentionally.

9- He claims that it is permissible for menstruating women and those in astate of major defilement (junub) to recite, touch, and carry the Qur'an.

10- He claims over and over that among the innovations in religionexistent in Madina is the persistence of the Prophet's ﷺ grave in the mosque.

11- He claims that whoever travels intending to visit the Prophet ﷺ or to ask him for his intercession is a misguidedinnovator.

12- He claims that whoever carries dhikr-beads in his hand to rememberAllah Most High is misguided and innovating.

13- He invented a location to Allah Most High above the Throne which henamed al-makân al-`adamî - 'the non-existent place.'

14- He claims in Tamam al-Minna that masturbation does not annul one'sfast.

15- He published 'corrected' editions of the two Sahihs of al-Bukhari andMuslim, which he deceitfully called 'Abridgments' (mukhtasar) in violationof the integrity of these motherbooks.

16- He published newly-styled editions of the Four Sunan, al-Bukhari'sal-Adab al-Mufrad, al-Mundhiri's al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib, and al-Suyuti'sal-Jami` al-Saghir, each of which he split into two works, respectivelyprefixed Sahih and Da`if in violation of the integrity of thesemotherbooks.

17- He said: 'Many of those who interpret figuratively [the DivineAttributes] are not heretics (zanâdiqa), but they say what heretics say,'and 'figurative interpretation is the very same as nullification(al-ta'wîl `ayn al-ta`tîl).'2

18- He suggests that al-Bukhari is a disbeliever for interpreting theDivine Face as dominion or sovereignty (mulk) in the verse { Everythingwill perish save His countenance }(28:88) in the book of Tafsir in hisSahih: 'Except His wajh means except His mulk, and it is also said: Exceptwhatever was for the sake of His countenance.' Albani blurts out: 'No truebeliever would say such a thing' and 'We should consider al-Bukhariinnocent of that statement.'3

19- In imitation of the Mu`tazila, tawassul (seeking means), istighâtha(asking for help), and tashaffu` (seeking intercession) through theProphet ﷺ or one of the Awliyâ' he declaredprohibited acts in Islam (harâm) tantamount to idolatry (shirk) in hisbooklet al-Tawassul as did his friends Bin Baz and those who obey themsuch as al-Qahtani in al-Wala' wa al-Bara' and others, in flat rejectionof the numerous sound and explicit narrations to that effect, such asal-Bukhari's narration of the Prophet ﷺ fromIbn `Umar - Allah be well-pleased with him -: 'Truly the sun shall draw sonear on the Day of Resurrection that sweat shall reach to the mid-ear,whereupon they shall ask (istaghâthû) help from Adam - upon him peace -,then from Musa - upon him peace - , then from Muhammad ﷺ who will intercede (fa yashfa`u)... and that day Allah shallraise him to an Exalted Station, so that all those who are standing[including the unbelievers] shall glorify him (yahmaduhu ahlu al-jam`ikulluhum).'

20- He denies that the name of the Angel of death is `Azrâ'îl and claimssuch a name has no basis other than Israelite reports, although `Iyadreports the Consensus on the Umma on it in al-Shifa'.

21- Like the rest of Wahhabi and 'Salafi' innovators he declares Ash`aris,Maturidis, and Sufis to be outside the fold of Ahl al-Sunna and evenoutside the fold of Islam, although Allah Most High and His Prophet ﷺ praised them! Upon revelation of the verse { Allah shall bring a people whom He loves and who love Him }(5:54), theProphet ﷺ pointed to Abu Musa al-Ash`ari -Allah be well-pleased with him - and said: 'They are that man's People.'4
Al-Qushayri, Ibn `Asakir, al-Bayhaqi, Ibn al-Subki, and others said thatthe followers of Abu al-Hasan al-Ash`ari - i.e. Ash`aris who were mostlySufis - are included among Abu Musa's People for in every place that apeople are affiliated to a Prophet, what is meant is the followers of thatProphet. As for Maturidis, they are referred to in the narration of theProphet ﷺ from Bishr al-Khath`ami oral-Ghanawi with a sound (sahîh) chain according to al-Hakim, al-Dhahabi,al-Suyuti, and al-Haythami: 'Truly you shall conquer Constantinople andtruly what a wonderful leader will her leader be [Mehmet Fatih Sultan -Allah be well-pleased with him -], and truly what a wonderful army willthat army be!' Both the leader and his army were classic Hanafi Maturidisand it is known that Mehmet Fatih loved and respected Sufis, practicedtawassul, and followed a Shaykh. Moreover, enmity against Ash`aris,Maturidis, and Sufis, is nifâq and enmity against the Umma of Islam asmost of the Ulema of Islam are thus described.

22- In at least five of his books5 he calls for the demolition of theGreen Dome of the Prophet's Mosque in al-Madina al-Munawwara and fortaking the Prophet's grave outside the Mosque.

23- He states: 'I have found no evidence for the Prophet's ﷺ hearing of the salaam of those who greet him at his grave'and 'I do not know from where Ibn Taymiyya took his claim6 that he ﷺ hears the salaam from someone near.' This and theprevious item are among his greater enormities and bear the unmistakablesignature of innovation and deviation.7

24- He considers it an innovation to visit relatives, neighbors, orfriends on the day of `Eid and prohibits it.8

25- He gave the fatwa that Muslims should exit Palestine en masse andleave it to the Jews as it is part the Abode of War (dâr al-harb).9

26- He advocates in his Salat al-Nabi ﷺ, theformula 'Peace and blessings upon the Prophet' instead of 'upon you, OProphet' in the tashahhud in contradiction of the Four Sunni Schools, onthe basis of a hadith of Ibn Mas`ud whereby the Companions used theindirect-speech formula after the passing of the Prophet ﷺ. But the Prophet ﷺ himselfinstructed them to pray exactly as he prayed saying: 'Peace and blessingsupon you, O Prophet' without telling them to change it after his death,nor did the major Companions (whose Sunna we were ordered to imitatetogether with that of the Prophet ﷺ), such asAbu Bakr and `Umar, teach the Companions and Successors otherwise!

27- He prohibits praying more than 11 rak`as in Tarawih prayers on thegrounds that the Prophet ﷺ never did and inblatant rejection of his explicit command to follow the Sunna of thewell-guided Caliphs after him.

28- He declares that adding more to 11 supererogatory rak`as in the latenight prayer (tahajjud) is an innovation rather than an act of obedienceon the grounds that the Prophet ﷺ 'never everprayed one hundred rak`as in his whole lifetime'10 although the Ulemaagree that there is no prescribed limit to something which the Prophetﷺ commanded without specifically quantifying it,and he ﷺ said in three authentic narrations:'Know that the best of your good deeds is prayer,'11 'Prayer is alight,'12 and 'The night prayer is in cycles of two [rak`as] and when oneof you fears the rising of the dawn, let him pray a single one.'13 It isalso established in many authentic narrations collected by Imam `Abdal-Hayy al-Lacknawi in the second part of his Iqamat al-Hujja `ala annaal-Ikthar min al-Ta`abbudi Laysa bi Bid`a that the Companions and Salafprayed hundreds if not thousands of rak`as in every twenty-four hours!

29- He considers it an innovation to pray four rak`as between the twoadhâns of Jumu`a and before Salat, although it is authentically narratedthat 'the Prophet ﷺ prayed four rak`as beforeJumu`a and four rak`as after it.'14

30- He declares it prohibited (harâm) and an innovation to lengthen thebeard over a fistful's length although there is no proof for such a claimin the whole Law and none of the Ulema ever said it before him.15

31- He gives free rein to his propensity to insult and vilify the Ulema ofthe past as well as his contemporaries. As a result it is difficult towade through his writings without being affected by the nefarious spiritthat permeates them. For example, he considers previous editors andcommentators of al-Bukhari's al-Adab al-Mufrad ('Book of Manners'!)'sinful,' 'unbearably ignorant,' and even 'liars' and 'thieves.' Of one hesays: 'There are so many weak hadiths [in his choice]... that it is anunIslamic practice'; of another: 'It is ignorance which must not betolerated'; of another: 'Forgery and open lie... His edition is stolen[from a previous one].'16 Such examples actually fill a book compiled byShaykh Hasan `Ali al-Saqqaf and titled Qamus Shata'im al-Albani waAlfazihi al-Munkara al-Lati Yatluquha `ala `Ulama' al-Umma ('Dictionary ofal-Albani's Insults and the Heinous Words He Uses Against the Scholars ofthe Muslim Community').

32- He revived Ibn Hazm's anti-madhhabî claim that differences can neverbe a mercy in any case but are always a curse on the basis of the verse{ If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein muchdiscrepancy }(4:82).17 Imam al-Nawawi long since refuted this view in hiscommentary on Sahih Muslim where he said: 'If something is a mercy, it isnot necessary for its opposite to be the opposite of mercy. No-one makesthis binding and no-one even says this, except an ignoramus or one whoaffects ignorance.' Similarly, al-Munawi said in Fayd al-Qadir: 'This is acontrivance that showed up on the part of some of those who have sicknessin their heart.'

33- He expresses hatred for those who read Imam al-Busiri's masterpiece,Qasidat al-Burda, and calls them cretins (mahâbîl),18 i.e. millions ofMuslims past and present including the likes of Imams Ibn Hajaral-`Asqalani, al-Sakhawi, and al-Suyuti who all included it as requiredreading in the Islamic curriculum.19

34- He perpetuates lies if they detract from Ash`aris, such as his remarkthat Imam Sayf al-Din al-Amidi did not pray,20 although Dr. Hasanal-Shafi`i in his massive biography entitled al-Amidi wa Ara'uhual-Kalamiyya showed that the story that al-Amidi did not pray was aforgery put into circulation during the campaign waged by Imam Ibnal-Salah against him for teaching logic and philosophy in Damascus.

35- He perpetuates the false claim first made by Munir Agha the founder ofthe Egyptian Salafiyya Press, that Imam Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni - thefather of Imam al-Haramayn - 'repented' from Ash`ari doctrine andsupposedly authored a tract titled Risala fi Ithbat al-Istiwâ' waal-Fawqiyya ('Epistle on the Assertion of Establishment and Aboveness').21 This spurious attribution continues to be promoted without verification -for obvious reasons - by modern-day 'Salafis' who adduce it to forward theclaim that al-Juwayni embraced anthropomorphist concepts. The Risala inquestion is not mentioned in any of the bibliographical and biographicalsources nor does al-Dhahabi cite it in his encyclopedia ofanthropomorphist views entitled al-`Uluw. More conclusively, it is writtenin modern argumentative style and reflects typically contemporaryanthropomorphist obsessions.

36- He derides the fuqahâ' of the Umma for accepting - in their massivemajority - the hadith of Mu`adh ibn Jabal on ijtihâd as authentic thenrejects the definition of knowledge (`ilm) in Islam as pertaining to fiqhbut claims that it pertains only to hadith,22 although the Ulema of theSalaf explicitly said that a hadith master without fiqh is a misguidedinnovator! And he defines the `âlim as 'meaning, of course, the `Salafi'`âlim, not the `Khalafi [late Egyptian Shaykh] Ghazali'!'23 Al-Qurtubisaid: 'One of the knowers of Allah said: A certain group that has not yetcome up in our time but shall show up at the end of time, will curse thescholars and insult the jurists.'24

Typical response by H.A.M., a 'Salafiy',
not caring much about the evidence put forward, as above:

Salaam,

What is all this nonsense on your website about refuting so andso??? Since when did the Prophet or his companions sit back behind theveil and slander their muslims brothers and sisters??? Where did youget this nonsense?

Fear Allah brother. A muslim does not attack his muslimbrother/sister. Didn't the Prophet say the one who testifies there isno god except Allah his life is sacred? So if his life is sacred, whatmakes you think you can sit up and slander him? In the grave, will notAllah punish those who slandered/backbited? So what makes you slanderthe righteous scholars of the ummah?

Do you know their relationship with Allah? It maybe so that theirrelationship with Allah is far more firmer than yours or mine, so holdthat tongue brother and Fear Allah.

Wa salaamu alaykum,

We are convinced that it is not slandering to say where one scholar has failed and iswrong andthat it is our duty to warn the Muslims about it
for the safeguarding of our doctrin and our dîn.

Concerning this typical reaction Shaykh Gibril F Haddad wrote the following:

“There are notable exceptions in the Law to the prohibitionof slander, i.e. of saying something unpleasant but true.

From the strictest viewpoint of the Law, the Prophet ﷺ upon himblessings and peace, did mention someone's bad characteristics to warnothers of the danger they represented. Another time he was reportedto say: 'Until when will you refrain from mentioning the wrongdoer[for the wrong they do]? Mention them so people can protect themselvesfrom them!' or something to that effect.

So the prohibition of slander and backbiting excludes those thatmake no effort whatsoever to hide their transgressions nor arethey repentent.

Furthermore, Allah Most High said:

{ Allah does not like the announcing of evil in public speech except by one who has been wronged; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing. }(4:148)

Albani And His Friends Pdf Full

So the prohibition of slander and backbiting also excludeswarning about a wrongdoer by someone that has been wronged.

Albani And His Friends Pdf Free

Most relevantly here, such prohibition also excludes warningabout innovators. As Imam Ahmad said, this is not backbiting norslander but obligatory nasiha by and for those that truly fearAllah Most High, was-Salam.”
