I actually was reading this article about Bro Haji I think yesterday
Uncovering the doubts of callers on Social Media (Part 9) Is Al Barbahari’s Sharh Us Sunnah (Explanation of the Sunnah) a reliable reference for the creed of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama’ah?
"
Some have made concerted efforts to tarnish his name (e.g Hajji) and others have tried to demonize his book using various methods e.g calling it the “Talmud” of the “Madkhalis”. Some (like Hajji) have even become so desperate that they quote from Anti-“Wahhabi” websites with reckless abandon.
All of this is done to discredit a well known scholar who spent his life defending the Sunnah.
A scholar who is praised by Imam Ibn Katheer in Al Bidayah Wan Nihayah, Imam Ibn Jawzi and Imam Adh Dhahabi in Siyar ‘Alaam An Nubala.
But then again what do these scholars/ Muslim historians know in front of the formidable Bro. Hajji!

That is my whole thing with this theory of "all the scholars are sellouts, we have to listen to guys on YouTube instead"........ we can't go with Ibn Taymiyyah, Imam Dhahabi, etc.- we have to listen to someone on YouTube named "Bro Hajji" instead???
And then we're "Madkhalis" if we want to go with actual scholars rather than people on YouTube like Yasir Qadhi, Mohammed Hijab, Bro Hajji??
I mean I haven't verified it myself as to whether Ibn Taymiyyah and those scholars did indeed hold such a view but... I'm not willing to go along with this idea that we need to throw out the scholars and go with random people on YouTube instead.
