The Understanding of the Salaf and the Understanding of the Khalaf in the Book and the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
From the Book and the Sunnah, following the understanding of the Khalaf and abandoning the understanding of the Salaf.
The Shaykh:
The rule is that the understanding of the Khalaf is not considered and is not relied upon. The Sunnah is that they are from the People of the Book and the Sunnah, meaning they knew the Qur'an and the Sunnah. They are the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and whoever follows their path from the Tabi'un and the generation after the Tabi'un until our day.
