The questioner:
He says: May Allah reward you. Some people say that Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) did not approve of identifying with or being called a Salafi or an Athari. Is this correct?
The Shaykh:
We have not known this about him. All his books encourage following the Salaf and following the athar and evidence. He was like that (may Allah have mercy on him) until he died. He was upon the methodology of the Salaf and concerned with the athar, hadiths, and evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
His books are available now. His books are available and they indicate what he was upon. Yes.
