Question:
He asks: Is there a difference between the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community and the Salafi methodology?
Answer:
The people of the Sunnah and the community are the Salafis; there is no difference between them. You may say "the people of the Sunnah and the community," you may say "the Salafis," or you may say "the saved sect"; all are names for one who is upon what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were upon. It is called the Salafi methodology because they are upon the methodology of the Salaf. They are called Salafis because they are upon the methodology of the Salaf, to distinguish them from those who abandoned the school and methodology of the Salaf.
