Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that when a scholar agrees with the innovators on any matter of creed or fundamental principles, he is considered to be part of them and becomes an innovator himself.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Muhammad al-Madkhali explains that if trusted scholars declare someone an innovator, their statement should be followed. It is not correct to treat the accused as equal to the scholars or to doubt their judgement.

Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmī warns against callers who claim to be Salafi yet mix with hizbīs, reject refutations, and defend innovators. True Salafiyyah requires enjoining good, forbidding evil, and correcting falsehood based on the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Shaykh Rabīʿ warns not to call someone Salafi if they defend innovators or oppose the Salafi manhaj. True Salafiyyah is shown through clear loyalty, correct creed, calling to the truth, and distancing from bidah.

A collection of scholars rejects the claim that a consensus is needed to refute innovators. They explain that evidence is the basis of truth, and refutation is required even if only one qualified scholar exposes the falsehood.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh al-Madkhali explains that relying on a few scholars in refutation is not harmful. The true criterion is adherence to the Sunnah, knowledge, and piety. Only a few qualified experts are trusted in al-jarḥ wa al-taʿdīl, just like in early generations.

Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Muhammad al-Aqil outlines the principles of avoiding innovators in religion: refrain from sitting with them, reading their books, or following their media. Only qualified scholars may engage with them for the purpose of guiding them back to the Sunnah.

Shaykh al-Luhaydan explains that Shaykh Rabīʿ is praised because of his strong religious commitment and knowledge. Critics speak ill of him either because he refutes opponents of Islam or out of envy toward his awareness and scholarship.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Salih al-Luhaydan affirms that Shaykh Rabiʿ ibn Hadi al-Madkhali and Shaykh Zayd ibn Muhammad al-Madkhali are scholars of sound ʿaqīdah, graduates of the Islamic University in Madinah, and loyal to the Salafi methodology. He advises listening to their books and tapes, while noting caution with scholars not personally known.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī declares Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Hādī as an ʿAllāmah and a strong scholar in fiqh and Sunnah. He praises his knowledge despite his young age and explains that his only “offence” is speaking out against deviators, which is necessary and justified.
Principles of the Salafī Methodology
Shaykh Muqbil al-Wādiʿī advises against reading or listening to books and lectures of former Salafis who later deviated. He emphasizes that Allah ﷻ preserved the religion through authentic scholars and warns that those deviating need to repent and return to the Book and Sunnah.
