In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Shaikh, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

We do not say that there are people of Ijtihad amongst ahlul bidah because they are followers of desires, and Allah and His Messenger have testified to this. The misguided innovator in religious matters stirs up discord and errs, and then says to you, “This is Ijtihad”. When Hikmatiyar and the misguided parties (in Afghanistan) murdered Shaikh Jameel Ur-Rahman, they said, “This is Ijtihad”. Making lawful the spilling of the blood of the Salafis is Ijtihad to them! This is what it is, they do not fall into misguidance or a calamity except that they say, ‘This is Ijtihad’. This is a dilution of Islam, mixing falsehood, misguidance and bidah with truth when the mistakes of the (real scholars of Ijtihaad) for which they are rewarded are placed at the same level alongside innovation in religion about which the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, has informed us that it leads to the fire.
