   :Brother, may Allah reward you for transcribing the article.  However as Muslims, we are need to be fair and just.  It has to be noted here for the sake of clarity that someone who makes a mistake in Aqeedah is not discarded inherently.  For instance, Imam an-Nawawi and ibn Hajar al-Asqalani had some of the Ashari traits so mistakes in aqeedah come at different levels.  Clearly for isntance if you pray to the wali in the grave, that is more grave that is clear shirk.  This is a clear part of al-Wala' wal-Bara.  I do notice though that in your article you make assertions about his creed.  However, you did not provide a scholar saying he wasn't salafi.  Someone can make mistakes because they were ignorant or had been mislead; to say someone is not salafi requires the hujjah be established.  Could you provide a saying from ibn Baaz, ibn Uthaymeen, al-Albani, or Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadee' saying he is not salafi?  I don't know a ton about Sayyid Qutb specifically; I admit that.  However, I do know a good deal about what is required to say someone is not salafi totally and what that entails and requires.
