Are Hasan Ba Shuaib and Yusuf al Jazairee from the scholars of Jarh wa Ta'deel ? 

<blockquote>Question : </blockquote><blockquote> </blockquote><blockquote>Assalamu Alaikum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu . </blockquote><blockquote> </blockquote><blockquote>What is the condition of Hasan Ba Shuaib and Yusuf al Jazairee ? Are they from the scholars of Jarh wa Ta'deel ? And what is your advise for those who spread their refutations and cause Fitna and splitting among the Salafis ? May Allah reward you. </blockquote> <h3>Answer : </h3> Wa alaikum salam warahmathullahi wabarakathuhu . The answer is : My noble brother.. may Allah give us and you Tawfeeq towards that which He loves and is pleased with Know that a lot of speech related to Dawah from those whom you mentioned in your question are clear evidences for the just and rational ones that those people whom you mentioned are not qualified to come forward in the name of Dawah and defending it. And the reality is the best witness.... rather the reality of the likes of these people is that they are a burden and hardship upon the Dawah and its (true) people. So the path that these people and their likes from the extreme ones traverse upon is considered to be a crime towards Salafiyyah and its people since it is an intellectual mistake which has occurred because of a wrong understanding regarding the definition of Salafiyyah... rather (regarding the definition of) Ilm fundamentally. And this is from a lot of perspectives. For example they are narrow minded as they look at things from only one perspective and they apply them in only one way . That's why they don't look at the endings and the results of things and their types from which dangerous things normally happen such as making Tabdee upon the people as a whole and individually without any distinction . Likewise from them is stripping off the foundations of the Shariah and its branches from how the scholars practically applied them i.e stripping the understanding of Salafiyyah from the methodology of its scholars . That which arises from this is concealed desire (Hawa) in the way of practicing Salafyyah by name of Salafiyyah ! This is why you see them being very decisive in issues in which difference of opinion among the scholars have become prevalent and famous due to the strength of (all of) the opposing and differing sides regarding the issue. It is as if they attained knowledge more than all of the Ulemah before them ! So you will find them lot of times being fervent to throw away the other opinion based on what they believe no matter how (strong and) heavy the other opinion is on the scales of the Ulemah . And absolutely this is not way of the Ulemah. This is why you find Fataawa from these people in complex issues in which it is befitting for the (true) scholar to wait ( and not to proceed quickly to give Fatwa ) and even if he proceeds he should not be decisive (regarding his Fatwa). He gives the Fatwa along with good manners , reverence and utmost humility because of the severity of the differing . But as for these people , then (their Fataawa in these issues) are quick answers that are (very) short and decisive and sometimes they are only half a line ! . So don't think that this is a path to knowledge, rather it is an evidence of a lack of correct awareness regarding the path of the people of knowledge. And the amazing thing is that this according to their blind followers is a sign of real Ilm ! We wish had it been true that Ibn Abdil Barr , Ibn Hazm , An Nawawee , Ibn Qudama and Ibn Taymiyya learnt this way so that they could have summarised all those large number of volumes into small booklets upon the way of " permissible and not permissible " of Hasan Ba Shuaib ?! Know my brother that this type of education does not create a real student of knowledge but rather fanatic blind followers who are not upon firm foundations and proper qualifications because they are blind from the realities of Dawah and the legacy of the Ulemah . And they don't see the knowledge except in the statements of their Shayk most of the times whom they are fanatic towards ! And "most of the time" when these people study the matters of Khilaaf they don't adhere to the proper manners of the Khilaaf i.e. they study about the differences of opinions in a specific matter whilst not adhering to the proper manners (of how to deal with the people who hold the other opinion) . Therefore they do not treat the one who has a different view in the right way as they don't give them the station that is necessitated by the scales of the (true) Ulemah because they concluded its futility in the first place even if it is the view of the majority of scholars ?! Also from that is a narrow perspective and short sightedness which leads to a hypothetical reality that does not exist except in the minds of these people . Because of this you find them that they deem everyone who opposed them to have opposed the entire Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa' and entire here means all of the Ahlus Sunnah since they were first created . And the reason for this is their delusion that they alone are the Ahlus Sunnah apart from the rest of mankind . Rather you see them necessitating that they are the firmest of people and the purest and the most intelligent and the most knowledgeable etc. sometimes directly and sometimes in an indirect way. Not to mention interfering with people's intentions and magnifying that which should be simply neglected and going to extremes in places of pardoning and being hasty in places of forbearing ! ..also having a sharp tongue and ugly descriptions that which the people of good manners would avoid . May Allah protect us and you from it . So the one whose situation is like that it is not befitting that he is described as having shares in terms of Knowledge and Dawah because in reality he is someone who destroys .. not to mention that he is described as a scholar.. let alone that he is described as a scholar in a branch from the branches of the Shariah which requires something more than just describing him as a mere scholar i.e something more from piety , knowledge and acquaintance with situations and their endings and a complete knowledge regarding the various chapters of Maslaha and Mafsada and a full experience or say enough experience with the Manhaj of the Ulemah in dealing with the opposers and the qualification to apply it in the correct way in the real Dawah situation . The summary is that , Salafiyyah has become in the east and these people are in the farthest west and how far is the distance between the east and the west and how far is the distance between them and the true Salafiyyah ! May Allah guide all of us . As for the one who spreads (the speech) of these people and he has some goodness in him then you don't have to do anything.. since he will see from them what is going to make him awake sooner or later . Since these people are like live coal that burns whatever it falls upon and even if they don't find anything to burn they will still burn themselves like the one who makes his two legs fight each other . Rather , I would like to mention that once I counted along with a brother in Indonesia those Masaajid which follow these people's opinions .. we were not able to find one Masjid among these Masaajid that were safe from differing , splitting and insulting one another by doing Tabdee after they were brothers loving each other ... so there was not even one Masjid that was safe when we tried to count ! Because those people were rushing to practice such things on each other before counselling with the true Ulema . And events happen one after another during which lot of brothers like this wake up (and see the reality) . And Allah is the one whose help is sought.
