Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: In this time, the sects have multiplied, and each one claims to be on the right path. We want you, may Allah preserve you, to give us a standard from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) by which we can judge this matter.
Answer:
The matter is clear, and praise be to Allah. Whoever’s belief agrees with the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community is one of them. As for the one who claims to be so but contradicts the people of the Sunnah and the community, he is not one of them. Yes.
