Question: We find some of the Salafis harsh in their speech and in their da’wah and with their families; And if they see a man who is not from amongst them, they grimace at him, which is contrary to what we find from the Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen; Good manners is what is lacking in us, so we need sincere advice from you, and may Allaah reward you with good.
Response: This is an important matter and that is to advise one another about good manners. Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) says regarding the Prophet ﷺ:
And He (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) says:
And this [harsh] Salafi was probably a beginner in seeking knowledge, as the norm with beginners is that they are a little zealous and harsh – whether he is a Salafi or Ikhwaani or other than that. And this is what we and others have experienced. Otherwise, and all Praise is due to Allaah [alone], our brothers freely mix with their brothers in al-Hudaydah, Taa’iz, Aden and Hadramout, and the people receive them and welcome them with love and respect, and this is evidence that they are exposed to good and honourable manners, and Allaahul-Musta’aan (Allaah is the One from whom Assistance is sought).
