The conditions regarding the repentance of the opposers to the methodology of Salaf by those who established innovative principles, and other than them.
﷽
This is a valuable sound Fatwa in this subject matter, by the Shaykh, the Scholar, Zaid bin Hadi Al-Madkhali, may Allah have mercy upon him, he mentioned in it the conditions of the repentance of the opposer to the methodology of the Salaf, this includes innovators and those beneath them, this is the question and answer:
Question Nr. 37:
What are the conditions of advising the opposer to the Methodology of the Salaf?
And does advise have to be for a certain specified period of time?
Answer:
The conditions of the repentance of the Innovator are the conditions well known through careful investigation and extrapolation, for the acceptance of the repentance of every sinner:
The first:
Quitting the sin.
The second:
Regretting what took place.
The third:
Determination to not return to it.
And for the Innovator the following are added to the three conditions:
1- Publicised freeing of oneself outwardly and inwardly, especially in the areas which he used to emit his innovations in, and upon the ears of those that that he called to take it on board and to be fanatical to it, and for them to spread it until the innovation becomes like the noble Prophetic Sunnah, making one eager to call towards it and to act upon it, of those that have had their hearts filled with it, and had their limbs act it out.
And those that Allah leaves him to be misguided, you will not find him a helper to guide him.
2- That he refutes himself, if he was to have authored calling to it in the authoring, and casting blame on those that critique it.
Or for him to critique those that call to it and spread it.
So the refutation is to be:
▪️Direct.
▪️Clear, everyone that reads it or hears it understands it, this is for freeing oneself from blame and in aid the Sunnah and love of its people.
▪️To continue doing this until meeting Allah.
3- To burn and lay waste to what he has infront of him of affairs which contains the innovations, so that nothing remains trialling whoever it may trial, either while the one who introduced it is still alive or after their death.
Lastly know, O Questioner:
That the Innovator is an immense evil upon himself, and upon his community, and his nation, he is to be advised, if he rejects the advise of the advisers it's an obligation for him to be boycotted, and to flee from sitting with him and accompanying him.
Listen to the statement of those that carefully analysed the conditions of the people of Innovation, and came to the knowledge of the heinousness of Innovation and its harms, and the harms of its perpetrator to individuals and communities alike where ever it may be.
He said, and how splendid it is:
وكل بر في اتباع مـــــن سلف وكل شر في ابتداع من خلف
فكن من الأتباع في درب الهدى تظفر بخير ثم تنجو من ردى
والسنــة الغرا طـــريق المهتدي فلا تزغ عنها فتهلك في غـــد
ودر مـع الحـــق بعلـم وتقـــى لتحرز الأجر وحسـن المرتقى
All good is in following those that preceded
And every evil is in the innovating of those that followed.
Be from the followers to the path of guidance.
You will obtain good and then be saved from demise.
The Sunnah is the path of the rightly guided.
So don't deviate from it whereby you will be ruined by the morning.
Abide to the truth with knowledge and Taqwa
So that you may obtain reward and a good elevation.
And if you, O Questioner, said:
Does this apply to the Hizbiyoon in this era?
