Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it true that it is part of the methodology of the righteous Salaf that some scholars respond to the people of innovation and desires, while other scholars do not respond to them but rather clarify the methodology of the Salaf, and that some of them complete the work of others? Is this correct?
Answer:
It combines both, my brother. One responds to the people of innovation and newly invented matters, and one clarifies the methodology of the Salaf. Yes.
