The leading personalities from the People of Knowledge have criticised the movement of al-Ikhwaan ul-Muslimeen because they do not have any interest/activity in the da’wah to Tawheed and rejection against Shirk and innovations. They have certain, specific ways which are impaired by their lack of interest/activity in calling to Allaah, and turning to the correct ‘aqeedah - that which the Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah are upon. So it is necessary for the al-Ihkwaan ul-Muslimeen that they concern themselves with the Salafi Da’wah, the da’wah to the Tawheed of Allaah and rejection against the worshippers of graves, against the attachment to the dead and seeking aid from the inhabitants of the graves, such as al-Husain, al-Hasan, al-Badawi and what is similar to that.

And Shaikh Hamood at-Tuwaijaree - may Allaah have mercy upon him - authored a book about Jamaa’at ut-Tabligh and called it: ‘The Profound Word in Cautioning from Jamaa’at ut-Tabligh’ and he said in the introduction:

This is a response to a book which some of the brothers sent to me, consisting of a question about Jamaa’at ut-Tabligh and regarding many of the statements that have been made about them - from those who speak for them and for those who rejct their actions. And the questioner asked that he read the fatwa of Shaikh Muhammad bin Ibraheem in which holding back from them [is advised]. And the questioner said: Shall I advise him to go out with them on khurooj inside the country of Saudi or outside of it or not? And the answer: I say: As for Jamaa’at ut-Tabligh, then they are a jamaa’ah of innovation and misguidance and they are not upon the affair that the Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), His Companions and those following them in goodness were upon. But they are upon some of the ways of the Soofees and their innovated methodologies.

Then we say: He [ash-Shaayijee] got excited [thinking] that a very clear difference of opinion has occurred between the scholars. Is it not required from the students of knowledge to look at the evidences of the scholars and at the reality and true nature of these groups? Whilst holding onto the sharee’ah principle ‘the burden of proof is upon the claimant’ or should they support an opinion, from the many opinions, due to hawaa (desire) and the blameworthy party-spirit (ta’assub)?!

And with the knowledge that many of the scholars besides those whom we have quoted, clearly and openly perform tabdee’ (declaring to be innovatory) of these groups - even those who do not deem the groups to be innovated sects, then they are not pleased with the methodologies of these groups and with the fact that many of the proponents/propounders of these groups deviate from the way of the Salaf such as al-Qardaawi, al-Ghazaali, Sayyid Qutb, at-Tilmisaanee, Hasan al-Banna etc. So why this exaggeration and [undue] excitation? Why such a desperation to defend the Ahl ul-Bid’ah and to attack the scholars? Those who expose - with evidences - the methodologies of these deviant groups by which everyone who battles against our Righteous Predecessors has entered [into the realm of da’wah] from amongst the Ash’arees, Soofees, the Mu’tazilah, the worshippers of the graves and others...!!?

The scholars who do not have anything clear to say about these groups have not criticised their brothers, the other scholars, who have spoken and exposed and explained the misguidance of these groups, because they know that they have a good and strong perception.
