Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hādī Al-Madkhalī: The Sa'āfiqah have even corrupted some of the elderly

Al-Allāmah Muhammad ibn Hādī Al-Madkhalī حفظه الله said:
As for those Sa'āfiqah for indeed whoever listen's to their speech or flings himself amongst them, they destroy him even if he was old in his age, we seek refuge with Allāh from that, so you find some of their effects apparent even in some of the elderly, from those who they have corrupted -we seek refuge with Allāh from that- so the companion has an effect just as the Prophet said :" The man is upon the religion of his friend, so look to whom you befriend" I advise you O brothers to stay far away from those Sa'āfiqah and take all caution from sitting with them, calling them, and listening to them, because they have become large in number in these times, may Allāh not increase them, they have become large in number in these times, may Allāh not increase them...

as-Shaykh al-Imām Rabee's advice to those who rely on commendations and their actions do not testify for them that they are Salafī.

as-Shaykh Rabee’ was asked: "Some of the callers are not known for Salafiyyah and they were warned against, but there are still those who sit with them with the argument that they were not disparaged with a detailed disparagement, and they were commended by as-Shaykh al-‘Abbād and other than him. So brothers have been divided between critic and praiser because of those callers. So what is your statement to them?" Answer: "I say it is obligatory upon the one who the people have differed concerning him and who does not commend himself by openly manifesting the Salafī  methodology, but he relies on the commendation of this one and that one...This one and that one are not infallible with their commendations, they could give a commendation based on the apparent condition of an individual and that apparent condition could flatter them and he could pretend that he is upon Salafiyyah and that he is upon the correct methodology, and he hides the opposite of what he makes ap

Giving precedence to the elders is not general

Giving precedence to the elders is not general Ibn Battāl Rahimahullah said in the explanation of Saheeh Al-Bukhārī vol.9 pg. 317 and 318 in the Maktaba alrushd print Honouring the elders and putting them first in speaking and in all affairs is from the manners and excellent morals of Islām, and Abdur-Razzaq mentioned in the Hadeeth (from glorifying Allāh's loftiness is respecting those who have reached old age in Islām) and with this meaning the Prophet ﷺ said:(The elder the elder) So he ordered  to let the elder be the first one too speak, so this is a Sunnah, but the Hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar proves that the meaning of this is not general, in fact it is incumbent that the elder starts speaking in that which the young and old are equal in knowledge, but if the youth knew that which the elder was ignorant of, then it is incumbent for the one who has knowledge to mention it and put it forth, even if he was young, and that is not considered bad manners or being short with the rig

It is not a condition that warnings and refutations come from scholars

Imām Rabee b. Hādī al-Madkhalī stated: I would be nice that a refutation would be from an 'Ālim firmly grounded in knowledge with the descriptions that you mentioned, but it is not an obligation on every refuter to fulfill these discriptions, and it is not obligatory to complete these discriptions in every refutation, and if we was to make this a condition for every refuter and every refutation corruption would spread and would over come most of the Ummah except for some exceptions of the people. And what emphasizes the inaccuracy of the refuter having to fulfill these conditions is that you will not find in most Muslim lands firmly grounded Salafi Ulama, but you will find in those lands students of knowledge, and with that Allāh aided them in the spread of Tawheed and refuting polythiesms and innovations and superstitions. And i ask Doctor Ibraheem if there was a country or countries in which innovations and evil was being spread, and there was not found in that countr
