Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is everyone who deviates from the Salafi creed ignorant of it, or are there those who deviate from it with knowledge? Hmm? Or is everyone who deviates from the Salafi creed ignorant of it? Or are there those who deviate from it with knowledge?
Answer:
Both categories exist. Some deviate from it out of ignorance, and these are the majority of the misguided people. Others deviate from it with knowledge and insight, following their desires and lusts, and this group is fewer than the first. So both types exist: those who deviate due to ignorance and those who deviate due to desire, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
