Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhali explains that the Salaf judged a person by three signs: who he accompanies, who he visits, and who he keeps close ties with. After these, no further inquiry was needed.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Muqbil explains that a detailed scholarly criticism is sufficient, even if only one scholar has refuted an innovator. Truth depends on evidence, not on consensus, and a trustworthy scholar’s refutation must be accepted.

Shaykh Muhammad Bazmul explains that detailed criticism takes precedence over praise, even if praised by respected scholars. Praise does not nullify evidence-based refutation, and those who persist in error often refuse repentance due to pride and fear of losing followers.

Shaykh Muhammad Ramzān al-Hājirī advises that a young student may warn against known innovated groups and clearly identified innovators, but should not habitually label people as innovators. Such detailed criticism is reserved for qualified scholars.

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.
