Question:
The questioner says: Many of the Islamic groups today claim to be on the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community. What is the validity of their claim?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. We love for them to be on the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community, and that is what we want and what we call to. But whoever claims to be on the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community, we test his creed against the Book and the Sunnah and against the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community. If it agrees, then he is truthful, and he is our brother. If it is contrary, then his claim does not benefit him. Religion is not about claims; religion is reality, not claims. If the claimants do not establish proofs for their claims, they are merely pretenders. Yes.
