Question:
We return to the brothers' questions. This brother says: Shaykh, who are the Salaf al-Salih whose words are cited as evidence in understanding the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
They are the ones we mentioned recently: the Companions, the Tabi'un, and the generation following the Tabi'un, the preferred centuries. These are the Salaf al-Salih. They are the ones who interpret the Qur'an with the correct interpretation that matches the meaning intended by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
