This pathetic attempt to refute the Salafees is found within Zayd Shaakir’s lecture ‘Introduction to following a Madhab’. It is devoid of any actual reference to the Imaams themselves and is well grounded in the tradition of Hamza Yoosuf industry of lectures, and this maybe explains why Zayd Shaakir has become a replica of Hamza Yoosuf!

The clone of Hamza Yoosuf states:

“Many of the people that claim to be salafees, if you ask them why do you mash your feet against the feet of the other guy in the prayer?
Whats your daleel?
How many (salafees) would be able to give you the hadeeth that justifies that practice and the proof of those who argue against it?
Because for your position to be based on knowledge you have to know both, what are your proofs and the proofs of those people that argue against that?….. but if you ask people for those proofs and what’s your daleel (the salafee) says “well, i read it in Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee’s “Pray as you have seen me pray” tayyib, then if you’re following that book and don’t know its proofs you are a muqallid. So the question is would you rather make taqleed of al-Albaanee or Shafi’ee, Maalik, Ahmad or Aboo Haneefah? That becomes a question, and personally I would rather rely on ash-Shafi’ee.”
