Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, O Shaykh, is the accumulation of methodological errors by a specific person sufficient to exclude him from the Salafi path?
The Shaykh : My brother, the errors you are referring to are either following one's desires or arising from a doubt or an argument in his own opinion. This is one thing, and the first thing is another. Do you distinguish between these two?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : All right, so as for the one who has some knowledge and has an argument and a doubt, he is considered to have gone astray in that he has opposed the people of the Sunnah, but he is not declared an open sinner because he does not commit a forbidden act while knowing it to be forbidden. Is that clear?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills.
