Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Are the people of the Sunnah and the community now called the Salafi sect?
Answer:
Whoever is upon the methodology of the Salaf is a Salafi, and whoever opposes the methodology of the Salaf is not a Salafi, even if he calls himself by that name. The criterion is the reality, not the claim.
