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.” Source: the audio cassette, al-Albaanee Imaamus-Sunnah http://www.sahab.net/sahab/showthread.phps= 5d17c7c077fa6b6233fd09983334d7a9&threadid=292385 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. http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=9&Topic=1673 Sh.
