Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on distinguishing between the youth of the People of the Sunnah, specifically, and the rest of the People of the Sunnah, generally? They call each other by certain names, and regarding the dropping of the two conditions?
The Shaykh:
The youth of the People of the Sunnah and the youth of the People of the Sunnah, how?
The questioner:
He means they call each other by names.
The Shaykh:
The intent is known, but he repeated it twice with what?
The questioner:
The general Sunnah and the general Ummah.
The Shaykh:
The youth, Allah says, this is the Sunnah.
The questioner:
The People of the Sunnah and the youth of the People of the Ummah.
The Shaykh:
This is the question.
The questioner:
What is the ruling on distinguishing between the youth of the People of the Sunnah, specifically?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
And the rest of the People of the Sunnah.
The Shaykh:
This does not happen; it is not that the People of the Sunnah are divided into two groups. As long as they are the People of the Sunnah, they are one community. If they oppose the Sunnah, they become another group. Things are called by their names: the Sunni is called a Sunni, the Shi'i is called a Shi'i, the Mu'tazili is called a Mu'tazili, and the Jahni is called a Jahni, distinguishing between this one and that one. Yes.
