The student of the Noble Shaykh Uthaymeen (رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ), Shaykh Fawzee (hafidhahullaah), was also asked about Adawi. The shaykh’s response was: "He has no manhaj, he is with almost every group". He makes open co-operation with all groups and innovators.
Mustapha Al Adawi: He says” Ikhwaanil Muslimeen stand in defense (of Islaam)” like Muhammad Hameed witnessed. And this statement is incorrect. What is correct is that Ikhwaanil Muslimeen have placed in Islaam a rift due to their hizbiyyah and harshness towards #AhlusSunnah.
And some of them, with their lack of importance to Tawheed, and blind following of the kuffaar, do this upon knowledge. Thus they haven’t blocked any rifts (in defense of Islaam). Consequently Abul Aynayn wrote 2 dissertations on Mustapha Al Adawi. A clarification of his statements regarding the major scholars of Ahlus Sunnah.
Lastly; whenever he meets adherents to Al Hikmah Charity Organization in Saudi he’s comfortable with them. Likewise he’s affiliated with them and he shuns his brothers from Ahlis Sunnah, thus birds of a feather flock together.
We have never known this man to be salafee, but we know him to be the opposite. He is from those who aid Ahlu-Bida’ah by watering down the manhaj, thereby, enabling him to work with every group. He makes walaa with the enemies of the Salafi Methodology, while at the same time making baraa from the well know Salafi Mashaykh. People used to think he was salafee because he spent some time in Yemen with our Shaykh Muqbil, but we know differently.
.
We find him to be with the hizbees. We, also, find him to be on the Banna principle (kullun-Naas 'alaa khair- we all work together in that which we agree upon, overlooking those things in which we differ), allowing him to make excuses for them, while opposing the people of the Sunnah and disliking them at the same time. We find him trying to expose scholars like Shaykh Al-baani and refusing to make any jarh on innovators. When asked about making jarh on the people of bida’ah, he says, I do not make criticism of people. But, at the same time, Ahlus-Sunnah is not safe from his pen.
Oh noble Salafees, Ahlus-Sunnah is forever in war with the people of innovations and desires. We write this as an advice to the general Muslims, especially the Muslims of America, who have direct or indirect connection with these misguided individuals, and the other #Mumayyioon living and studying in Mansoorah, Alexandria, and Cairo, under the likes of Muhammad Ismaeel and Usaamah al-Qoosee.
Oh Seekers of truth, know that there is a group of Americans studying with the confused Mustafa Adawi. No one studies with this man except that he becomes an attacker of the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah. We have always known about the Americans studying in places like Mansoorah, Tanta and Alexandria, but not until recently, have we begun to feel the effects of their bida’ah and deviated principles. Due to this, along with their recent gain of recognition among the common people in places like New York, New Jersey, and other places, we find ourselves in the position to defend the Manhaj and to advise the Muslims against the fitnah of the people of desires and the misguidance of the Juhalaa. Being that, we are more knowledgeable about the affairs of these people.
As the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alayhe was-Sallam said "Let not the fear of a person prevent you from speaking the truth if you see it, hear of it or if you know of it".
A few months ago we invited the Americans, who are studying and/or living in Mansoorah to Cairo to sit down and discuss this issue. In order to give them the opportunity to clarify some of the deviated principles, which we have seen and heard emanating from them and the people with whom they are associated. Our invitation fell on deaf ears, with the exception of three of his students, Khaleel, Bilaal, and Rasheed, who are among the most corrupted and deviated ones from amongst them.
After sitting and discussing this issue at length with the individuals mentioned above, we found that their condition is worse than we had anticipated. Not only do they embrace and call to at-Tamyee and Muwaazanah, and the permissibility to study with the people of innovation if one takes the good while leaving the bad, but they criticize the major scholars, refusing to accept their fatawa except that which agrees with their desires. They attack and criticize the salafiyeen, like Dawud Adib, Hasan Malik, etc., and blind follow the hizbeeyeen, while refusing the advice, based on evidences, of the salafiyeen. They blind follow #MustafaAdawi, and defend people like Muhammad Hassaan (Caller to Suside missions). Yet, they attack and accuse the salafee brothers attending the University of Madina of studying with Ikhwaanes, and at the same time using it as an evidence for the permissibility of studying with ahlu Bida'ah.
Oh salafeyoon, our advice to you is that you know your friends. Inspect the people and their Manhaj. Ask them, from where have they received their knowledge. Ask about them from the salafi brothers and sisters who are known for their manhaj, like the brothers and sisters at Dar-Hadeeth, TROID and Salafi Publications. For indeed, there is no salafi student of knowledge from the west, except that they are in connection with these brothers who have preceeded them in seeking knowledge. We ask Allah to protect us and you from the tricks of Shay’taan and his agents.
