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.
Methodology
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.
Methodology
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.
Methodology
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.
Methodology
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.
Knowledge
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.
The Salafi Metholdolgy
Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī explains that disputes among Salafis arise from weak taqwā and spiritual diseases of the heart. He advises returning sincerely to the Qur’an and Sunnah, avoiding causes of division, and nurturing brotherhood, mercy, and love so the believers remain united like one body.
The Salafi Metholdolgy
Shaykh Rabīʿ al-Madkhalī urges Salafī youth to remain sincere, alert to deception, united upon the truth, and committed to supporting righteousness while rejecting error with justice and balance.
