Claiming affiliation with the Salafi methodology by words alone, or being content with saying, “I am a Muslim”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you, is it better for a person to claim affiliation with the Salafi methodology by saying, “I am a Salafi,” or is it sufficient for him to say, “I am a Muslim”?

Answer:
No, naming oneself a Salafi is not sufficient by mere utterance. One must follow the methodology of the Salaf, follow the methodology of the Salaf, and be upon it, even if he does not say, “I am a Salafi.” Yes.
