WHO ARE THE MADKHALIS?

Some may be wondering, just who exactly are the Madkhali sect? They
are known by many different names. Some of these names include:

•The Neo-Salafis
•The Saudi Salafis
•The Murji’ah al-Asr
•Salafiyyah Jadidah
•Jama’at at-Tabdi’ wal-Hijrah
•The Talafis
•etc.

The reason we prefer to call them Madkhalis and their sect

Madkhaliyyah is because the founder of this deviant sect is named Rabi
bin Hadi al-Madkhali (from the Madkhali tribe), just like the Ashaa’irah
are named after Abu Hasan al-Ash’ari (from the Ash’ari tribe). He is also
considered one of their most prestigious scholars.

The most unique trait (not their worst), is their tendency to exaggerate
or go to en extreme in the concepts of Jarh and Tabdi’.

•Jarh: The science of disparaging narrators due to their deficiency in

trustworthiness. This was used by the scholar so that they would know
from whom to take Hadith and from whom they should be rejected. This
science was also used in the later generations in order to know from
whom knowledge could be taken from and from whom it should be
rejected.
•Tabdi’: To declare someone an innovator.
The starting point for the average and typical Madkhalee (layman or
scholar) is Sayyid Qutb. Whoever does not declare him to be an
innovator, then he is an innovator. Whoever does not declare the one
who abstained from Tabdee’ of Sayyid, to be an innovator, then he also
is an innovator, and onwards, until noone is left on the earth except the
few members of their sect.

This can be clearly seen in one of their principles which is understood

as, “whoever does not declare the innovator to be an innovator then he
is also an innovator”. This type of understanding is similar to the
takfiri/khawarij groups who say, “whoever does not declare the kafir to
be a kafir then he is also a kafir”. You will notice that the Madkhalis do
this to many great individuals in Islamic history. Such as ash-Shaheed
Sayyid Qutb, Hassan al-Banna, Abdullah Yusuf Azzam, etc. Those who
refuse to declare these men and others as innovators than they to are
considered innovators by the Madkhali sect. Due to this understanding
and extreme of the Madkhalis, they begin to view themselves as an
exclusive group wherein there are few members.

Also because of this, they ironically follow in the footsteps of Ahlul

Bid’ah (the people of innovation) who came before them, because they
only further divide this Ummah into sects.

Rabi bin Hadi al-Madkhali, the founder of the Madkhali sect, earned his
fame through this practice. While he is not the most well known around
the world nor the most respected, his influence has spread to areas
where his name is not even known. It is much like having as disease, but
not knowing exactly what disease you have. You have to figure it out
based on the symptoms you have.
With this site we hope to touch on the major deviations of the Madkhali
sect, both refuting and exposing them, so that we may diagnose this
disease and rid ourselves of it Insha’Allah ta’alaa.

Some more deviations and innovations of the Madkhali sect include:

•Believing that legislating man-made laws, complete abstinence from

ruling by the Shariah, or resisting to rule by the Shariah, seeking
judgment from Taghoot, are all just minor Kufr, that do not exit the
doer from the religion of Islam, except with Istihlaal. Istihlaal is to
believe his sin to be permissible. So they make the sins of major Kufr
and major Shirk equal to lesser sins like adultery, drinking alcohol, etc.,
by placing the condition of Istihlaal on the major Kufr, which only exists
as a condition for minor Kufr.

•Believing that actions of the limbs are not a pillar nor condition for the
existence of Iman for one to be ruled a Muslim. So for them one can
never pray, give Zakaah, fast Ramadan, or do Hajj, never do wudu never
get Tahaarah, etc., and he would still be a Muslim, who’s Islam can save
him from Hellfire eventually. They would label him a sinner, as for a
kafir, then no. So they have followed the Murji’ah of the past.

•Exaggerating the concept of excuse due to ignorance with regards to

the rules of this life. So for them they excuse the one who calls himself
a Muslim (i.e., they judge him a Muslim), in all situations, in all issues.
So for them, there is no difference between the basis of Islam, the
matters that are known from the religion by necessity, or those issues
that are less apparent or obvious. There is no difference between one
who was raised amongst the Muslims, or the one who was not. There is
no difference between the new Muslim, and others. All of them are
always Muslims, even if they fall into many types of obvious Kufr and
Shirk, because of the “possibility” of ignorance. This confusion amongst
them also applies to the issue of Ta’weel (misinterpretation) by which
(for example) they excuse many of the rulers who have pronounced
their Istihlaal of their legislating man-made laws.

•Believing that major Walaa’ (alliance/friendship) with the kuffar is not

major Kufr, unless the person internalizes a Kufr intention, such as
wishing to aid the religion of Kufr, or to destroy Allah’s Religion, etc. So
if one were to lead the crusade against Islam, head it, support it by
wealth and blood, he would still be a Muslim, until he pronounces the
internalized intentions of Kufr. So they do not make the act itself Kufr,
until this innovated condition is proven.

•Believing that Jihad cannot be Fard ‘Ayn upon the whole Ummah. Also,
related to it is their belief that it is not permissible without a state
whose Imam directs it. Believing it to be forbidden without the
permission of the ruler. All of this is regarding Defensive Jihad.

•Labelling those who do Takfir of the apostate rulers and their soldiers
to be Khawarij or Takfiris. They prohibit Khurooj against these apostate
rulers, due to the fact that they rule them to be Muslims. If they rule
some of them to be kuffar, they still prohibit it due to the fact it is not
led by an Imam (head of an Islamic state).

•Belittling the importance of awareness of current affairs and events,

saying that such is only for the rulers and scholars, and that the laymen
have no need for such. This foolish idea leads many laymen to believe
the rulers in their lands to be Muslims, because they are unaware of the
Kufr that he practices. So these laymen sometimes end up sacrificing
themselves for the apostate ruler by being his sincere servants and
slaves.

•Testing people on their positions regarding certain individuals they

have labeled innovators. If the person agrees with them regarding their
Tabdee’ then he is befriended, if not, he is taken as an enemy and
belittled. The individuals they test people by, many times are labeled
innovators based upon some of the above misunderstandings. Example:
‘Abdullah ‘Azzam said Jihaad is Fard ‘Ayn; according to the
Madkhaliyyah this is an innovation, so he is an innovator. They ask
Fulaan at the Masjid giving a lecture, what do you think of ‘Azzam? He
says he is good; then they consider him an innovator, or hold him
suspicious.

•They blindly follow the official government scholars on their stances

towards their governments and politics. So if the government scholars
say peace with the Jews is fine in Palestine, the Madkhaliyyah parrot his
words.

Note: Not all government scholars are Madkhaliyyah, but the

Madaakhilah blindly follow them in politics. Example, Ibn Baaz or Ibn
‘Uthaymeen are not Madkhalis, although they might possibly have some
branches of the Madkhali fundamentals, but the Madkhaliyyah blindly
follow their opinions that are related to politics.

•Holding a few people to be scholars in what they call “Manhaj.” None

else can be questioned on these “Manhaj” issues. These “Manhaj”
doctors include Rabi’, ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree, etc. They follow them blindly
in issues of Jarh and Tabdi’.
•The Madkhaliyyah tend to have a supportive position of the Saudi
apostate regime, although they are supportive of most of the apostate
regimes in general. But due to the fact that some of them do Takfir of
some of these regimes (Syria, Libya, etc.), they always are in agreement
in praising and supporting the Saudi regime by heart and soul.

•They are very quick and easy in declaring people to be innovators,

even over issues which are not innovation, rather from the best of Islam!
Like Jihad. As for things that are indeed innovation, if one falls into
them, they prohibit reading or praising anything that person wrote. For
example, Sayyid Qutb had innovations, but so did many many scholars
of the past and present, who Ahl as-Sunnah, as well as the
Madkhaliyyah, both quote, such as Ibn Hazm, an-Nawawi, Ibn Hajr, etc.
Yet they absolutely prohibit treating the books of Sayyid Qutb, or others
like him in the same respect.

•Due to the fact that they hold many of these apostate rulers to be legit
Muslims rulers/governments, and those who revolt against them to be
rebellious Khawarij bandits, they permit allying and befriending the
apostate governments, even if that ends up in aiding these apostates
against a Muslim. This is probably the worst of the Madaakhil’s crimes
(for those who hold this position) since it is apostasy, the apostasy of
Mudhaaharah (helping the Mushrikeen against the Muslims).
