for those of you who don't know Shaikh Rabee well he is a very well known A'alim from Saudi Arbia and is known for his alligence to Tawheed, Amongst the many scholars who have praised the Shaykh are:
Shaykh Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (rahima-hullaah) who mentioned on the tape “Liqaa. Abee al-Hasan al-Ma.rabee ma’a al-Albaanee” about him and Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee: “Without a doubt we praise Allaah the Almighty Who has, for this pure and upright da’wah to the Qur.aan and the Sunnah upon the methodology of the Pious Predecessors, made use of numerous callers from different Islaamic lands who uphold the collective obligation which very few do so in the Islaamic world today, notably the two Shaykhs (Rabee and Muqbil), the callers to the Qur.aan and the Sunnah and that which the Pious Predecessors were upon and wagiing war against those who oppose this correct methodology…“
The Shaykh further adds: “So I wish to say, that which I have seen of the writings of the Shaykh Dr. Rabee, then it is beneficial and I do not recall having seen anything wrong or outside of the methodology which we have come together upon with him, and him having come together upon with us…“
He also mentions on the tape “al-Mawaazanaat Bid’atul-’Asr”: “And in short, I say that the one who carries the banner of al-Jarh wat-Ta’deel in this present day and age in truth is our brother (Shaykh) Dr. Rabee, and those who refute him do not refute him upon (sound) knowledge – never…”
Shaykh ‘Abdul-’Azeez Ibn ‘Abdullaah Ibn Baaz (rahima-hullaah) who mentioned on the tape “Tawdeeh lil-Bayaan” about him: “So the explanation which has been issued by us, it’s intention was the call of all, all the callers and the scholars to the constructive criticism…and the intention was not our brothers the people of Madeenah from the students of knowledge and the teachers and the callers, and nor was the intention other than them in Makkah or Riyaadh or in Jeddah. Rather our general intention was our brothers the well-known Shaykhs in Madeenah of whom there is no doubt, they are the people of sound ‘aqeedah and from the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah, such as: Shaykh Muhammad Amaan Ibn ‘Alee, Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee, Shaykh Saalih Ibn Sa’d as-Suhaymee, Shaykh Faalih Ibn Naafi’, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee – all of them are known to us in uprightness and knowledge and sound ‘aqeedah…“
He also mentions on the tape: “al-As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah”: “Indeed Shaykh Rabee’ is from amongst the scholars of the Sunnah“.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz also permitted Shaykh Rabee’ to teach in his masjid (Masjid Ibn Baaz) in Makkah. His lessons still continue to this day, and this is evidence enough that the Shaykh died and he was pleased with Shaykh Rabee’ and that which he was upon in creed and methodology.
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen on the tape “al-As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah” said: “…as for Shaykh Rabee, then regarding him, I do not know anything but good, and the man is an upholder of the Sunnah and an upholder of Hadeeth“
He was asked on the tape “Kasf al-Lathaam ‘an Mukhaalif Ahmad Salaam”: “What is your advice for the one who forbids (listening to) the tapes of Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee with the claim that they stir up fitnah and within them is praise for the rulers in the Kingdom and that his praise, i.e. Shaykh Rabee’s praise for the rule, is hypocrisy?” The Shaykh responded: “Our opinion is that this is incorrect and is a major error, and Shaykh Rabee’ is from amongst the scholars of the Sunnah and the people of good and his ‘aqeedah is sound and his manhaj is correct…“
Shaykh Dr. Saalih Ibn Fowzaan Ibn ‘Abdullaah Ibn Fowzaan on the tape “al-As.ilah as-Suwaydiyah”, after mentioning Shaykh Rabee’ along with a number of other scholars he said: “…and they are from amongst the distinguished scholars who have much experience in da’wah and refutation against those who desire to take the path of the da’wah outside it’s correct path, so it is obligatory to circulate their tapes because indeed in them there is great benefit for the Muslims“
Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Subayyal (General President of the Affairs of al-Masjid al-Haraam (Makkah) and al-Masjid an-Nabawee (Madeenah), and the Imaam and Khateeb of al-Masjid al-Haraam) was asked about his opinion regarding whoever forbids (listening to) the tapes of the well-known scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah such as Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee (rahima-hullaah) and Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafitha-hullaah), whereby he says that tapes of the Shaykh stir up fitnah. So the Shaykh responded: “Look! These two scholars (their tapes) are amongst the best tapes, they call to the Sunnah and holding firm to the Sunnah, however, none speaks about them (in this manner) except one who follows his desires, and those who speak most about them are the people of partisanship who associate themselves with a group from amongst the groups, they are the ones who forbid these things. As for these two scholars well-known for their holding form to the Sunnah and their sound ‘aqeedah upon the methodology of the Pious Predecessors, then they are amongst the best of people“
And there is more evidence than this in the book by brother Thufairi on this matter. Therefore, as the messenger (Salallahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Whoever believes in Allah and the last day let him say good or keep quiet”.
