Question:
Some people deny the affiliation with the people of the Sunnah and the community, and they say: everyone claims that, but it is better to affiliate with the Salaf?
Answer:
The Salaf are the people of the Sunnah and the community. There is nothing wrong with affiliating with them; rather, it is a right, and it is from the believers, and from the followers of the people of the Sunnah and the community, from the followers of the Companions, and from the believers in Allah and the Last Day. One affiliates with the people of truth, not with the people of falsehood. One strives to be truthful and ensures that the claim is not false. One strives until one is truthful.
