Sh. Rabee warned against the soofee Muhammad Mukhtaar as shanqeeti

Al-’Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee Warns against the Soofee Muhammad Mukhtaar ash-Shanqeetee
Al-’Allaamah Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee was asked, “One of the brothers gave us a series explaining ’Umdatul-Ahkaam by Shaykh Muhammad {Mukhtaar} ash-Shanqeetee and it consisted of four hundred tapes.  So we made it an endowment in the mosque.”

So the Noble Shaykh answered, “I have not read this explanation.  And it is said that he is a man who does not distinguish the weak ahaadeeth, and that he walks with the hizbiyyeen and the Soofiyyah.  And he has no connection with Ahlus-Sunnah.  So I am not able to praise his cultivation and I do not praise him.  Then, who is the one who circulates the tapes of this man?  So Ahlus-Sunnah do not circulate his tapes, only the hizbiyyeen circulate them, even if they do not make their tahazzub (party spirit) apparent.  However, when we see these hizbiyyeen gathering upon him, applauding his tapes and considering him an Imaam from amongst the Imaams of the Muslims, it should prove to you that this man is from amongst them.  So he is a dangerous bridge that connects the youth to tahazzub (party spirit) and flings them into the heart of hizbiyyah.  So the books of the Salaf that are present are sufficient for you.  And the Salafee fiqh is sufficient for you, because this will connect you to other things.  May Allaah bless you.”

The Muftee of Jeezaan, al-'Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee Warns against Muhammad Mukhtaar ash-Shanqeetee

The Muftee of Jeezaan, al-’Allaamah Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee – hafidhahullaah – was asked, “Should we attend the lessons of Shaykh Muhammad Mukhtaar ash-Shanqeetee in fiqh?”  So he answered, “It has been mentioned to us about this man that he has something of tasawwuf.  So due to this, I say that once something contrary to the manhaj of the Salaf has been observed from him, then it is better to remain far away from him.”

Taken from a lesson in Jeddah, dated: 25/5/1423H.

Sh. Ubayd al Jabiree's refutation:

Then look at yourself a second time

Oh Allah save us…this verse is extremely dangerous and the scale is in His saying, ‘but Allah was averse to their being sent forth’ meaning in battle.

{…and it was said (to them), "Sit you among those who sit (at home)}

So beware and examine yourself, and if you see yourself being lazy upon doing good deeds then be afraid that Allah is averse to you putting forth good deeds.

Then look at yourself a second time, and make yourself patient and compel yourself upon obedience. So today you do acts of obedience and you are averse to it but tomorrow you do it willingly and effortlessly.

The important point is that this is a severe warning for the one who finds himself hindered from doing good deeds, so perhaps Allah the Exalted is averse to this man being from His obedient slaves therefore He hindered him from obedience.

We ask Allah to assist us upon His remembrance and upon thanking Him, and upon good worship.

Take to Fasting, there is nothing like it

One of the wisdom of fasting is that the heart becomes empty of heedlessness, and becomes occupied with contemplation and remembrance because eating, drinking and following desire distracts a person and weakens the ties with Allah and renders the heart harsh and blinds from truth.

One of the Salaf said that when the self becomes hungry, the heart comes clear, when filled, the heart becomes blind.
Therefore, through this (fasting) he leaves off what he loves and gives precedence to what is loved by Allah for the benefit of the Akhira [Hereafter].
