The Clarification of Contemporary Sects

Shaykh Rabīʿ took a similar issue against one of the chiefs of the Tamyīʿī ideology, Ibrāhīm al-Ruḥaylī, when he failed to stand against the party of obstinacy in previous tribulations, saying to him:

However, in between the oppressors and the victims there is another group, upon the way of Ibrāhīm al-Ruḥaylī, presenting as rectifiers, but who shield those who are originally responsible for the tribulation and chaos and who deserve criticism. They provide them escape routes, such as admissions, or backtracks in private that are kept secret, without open retractions and clarification, allowing the evasion of justice and returning of rights as necessitated by Allāh’s Law. They make every excuse for them while showing harshness and severity to their victims and blaming them for the division and chaos.
