Question:
Your Eminence! A questioner for the program asks: Is there a difference between saying, "This is the statement of the Salaf," or "This is the statement of the People of the Sunnah"?
Answer:
The meaning is the same. The Salaf are the People of the Sunnah, and they are the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and those who followed them with excellence. They are called the Righteous Salaf, and they are called the People of the Sunnah and the Community. If one intends that, there is no harm. The phrase is the same: the People of the Sunnah and the Community, the Righteous Salaf. What is meant by this, according to the People of the Sunnah, are the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and those who followed them with excellence in creed, statements, and actions. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
