The ruling on one who claims to be a Salafi and warns against Ibn Taymiyyah and the al-Tahawi Creed

Question:
I study with some students of knowledge, and they say that we follow the methodology of the imams of the da'wah, but we do not take from the imams. They speak ill of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and al-Dhahabi, and they warn against the al-Tahawi Creed, its study, and its commentary. They also declare al-Tahawi to be an innovator. What is your opinion of these people? And is what they present true and correct, such that we should accept it?

Answer:
Now they claim to be from the people of the Sunnah and the community, yet they attack the imams. Who are the people of the Sunnah? These are liars; they are not from the people of the Sunnah. But they say, "We are from the people of the Sunnah," out of lying and concealment. Otherwise, these people oppose Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, oppose the commentator of the al-Tahawi Creed, and oppose the imams. These are not from the people of the Sunnah, but they say, "We are from the people of the Sunnah," as a deception of you. So beware of them and stay away from them. Yes.
