The Shaikh criticizes statements made by Muhammad Hassaan which promote cooperation and unity among Muslims regardless of differences. The Shaikh argues: 1) Many Muslims today worship other than Allah, so not all can truly be considered upon Tawheed. 2) Uttering the Shahadah alone is not enough to be a Muslim, as there must also be correct knowledge and actions. Historically, some who said the Shahadah were still fought or considered disbelievers. 3) Hassaan's views reflect the principles of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, not the way of the Salaf. True da'wa requires following the Qur'an and hadith, not principles of overlooking

Q: O our Shaikh what is your opinion on Muhammad Hassaan where he stated in
one of his khutbahs,
“We are Muslims! We all are people of Tawheed, we all are believers, and we all call to this Deen.
The differences between us are in the branches of the religion (faroo’) which will neither nourish nor
avail against hunger. We leave off the Usool. All of us are Muwahidoon (people of tawheed), we are
all believers, we are all Muslims; there is nothing worthy of worship with us except Allah. There is no
book with us except the book of Allah. There is no leader with us except the son of Abdullah (the
Prophet Muhammad). There's no rancor with us in that, there's no differences in that, and there are
no disputes in that. (SubbahaanAllah) there is no difference between a Salafi brother and a brother
from the Jamaatul-Tabbleegh. There's no difference between a brother from Jamaatul-Ikhwaanul
Muslimeen and a brother from Jamaatul-Ansarus Sunnah. All of us say Laa Ilaaha Illalaah. All
of us say Muhammadur Rasoolullaah.”
O our Shaikh what are your comments on this statement:
A:In the name of Allah, praise be to Allah; may the prayers and peace be upon our
Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions.
To proceed:

The statements of Muhammad Hassaan al-Misri is established upon the principles of
ma’thirah (to excuse or pardon) and at-ta'aawun (cooperation) that we cooperate upon
what we agree upon (and have in common) and pardon one another in that which we
differ. These principles are from the Ikhwaanul Muslimeen al-Misriyyah which was
founded by Hasan al- Bannah in the mid 20th
century A.D. This minhaaj was made
for everyone to promote it after him (i.e. Hasan al-Bannah). In brief, the statement of
Muhammad Hassaan is of two matters.
Firstly: He states that all the Muslims are upon Tawheed and their differences are in
the affairs of faroo’ (subsidiary branches of the religion); this is not correct. In the
present time we live in, we find that (many of) those who affiliate themselves to Islam
are not upon Tawheed. Rather, many of the Muslims build domes and use them as
intermediaries (with Allah), raise the martyrs to levels not befitting to them, and go
to graves where they worship other than Allah.
Secondly: He tries to rationalize that the rancor with the Muslims is due to differing
in faroo’ (subsidiary branches of the religion). All of them say Laa Ilaaha Illalaah or
bear witness to the Shahaadatain. He says that uttering the Shahaadatain is sufficient
for an individual to be a Muslim. This is not correct; verily the Sahaabah fought Bani
Hanifa when they refused to pay the Zakaat (even though) they bore witness to the
Shahaadah. Likewise 'Ali (radi Allahu ‘anhu) took captives and burned them (the
Shi’ite) and they bore witness to the Shahaadah. There is consensus amongst the
Muslims as relates to the Faatimiyeen (a Shi’ite sect) who ruled over Egypt and
Morocco in the latter generations were kufaar and their land was considered the land
of war, and they bore witness to the Shahaadah.
So this statement from Muhammad Hassaan shows his ignorance to the Shahaadah.
Not everyone who utters the Shahaadah is a Muslim whose blood and money is
protected. Rather, uttering the Shahaadah must be in conjunction with knowledge
(understanding) and actions with it. Doesn't Muhammad Hassaan understand this? If
he understands this and then forsakes it, then verily he is disloyal to Islam and the
people as well as disloyal to the da'waa.

As for his statement regarding whoever says, “Laa Ilaaha Illalaah Muhammadur
Rasoolullaah”, is sufficient for an individual to enter into Islam, even if he doesn't
understand it, this is not (considered) da'waa to Allah upon clarity. Rather, this is the
da'waa (call) of ignorance. So it is upon Muhammad Hassaan to learn the correct way
to call to Allah and to implement it upon the way of the Imaams of the Sunnah from
the Sahaabah, the Taabi'een and those after them from the virtuous generations.
Those who are upon this Minhaj do not speak with these principles that he has
established. Such as,
“That we cooperate in that which we agree upon and pardon one another in that which we differ.”
These principles taken from Hassaan Al-Banna al Misri, the view of Jama'atul
Ikhwaanu-Muslimeen will not cease (as long as individuals like this promote them).
It's apparent to me that this man (Muhammad Hassaan) is Ikhwaani (a member of
Jama'atul Ikhwaanu-Muslimeen). He rules that everyone who affiliates himself
with Islam is a Muwahid (a person of Tawheed). Our differing is in the matters of
faroo’ (the subsidiary branches of the religion) and the like. No one makes this
statement except that he is a liar or an ignorant (fool). Na'am!
