What is Salafiyyah and What is the Ruling on Ascribing to it? | Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee

Shaykh Muhammad ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee:

All the praises be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds . And may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, companions, and those who follow him in goodness until the day of judgement. To Proceed:

I was met by some of our brothers from the students of knowledge in this university (Madeenah) recently. A discussion had taken place regarding the word ‘as-Salafiyyah‘, and ascribing oneself to it and the rejection of it (by some), and that it is said: “It is an innovated name which is unknown, so do not dispute this with us except with proof from the book (Qur’an) and Sunnah, because we do not agree with any term other than ‘Ahl us-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah‘.” This is what he told me – may Allah reward him with good – quoting the one he spoke with. If you are surprised, then indeed this statement is surprising, because the term ‘Ahl us Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah‘ was also unknown in the beginning of Islam, but rather it was coined when innovations occurred, when they emerged and appeared — when their heat intensified and their flames were stoked.

So I say: There is no difference between the two terms. Salaf us-Salih are Ahl us-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah, and Ahl us-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah are Salaf us-Salih. Ahl us-Sunnah wal Jamaa’ah are the people of Sunnah, because of their adherence to it, and the people of the Jamaa’ah because of their clarification of (the affair) the people of innovation and division.

What Is Salafiyyah?

Question:

What is As-Salafiyyah and what is your opinion regarding it?

Answer:

All praise is due to Allaah alone, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family and his Companions. To proceed:
"As-Salafiyyah" is an attachment or affiliation to the 'Salaf'. And "The Salaf" are the Companions of the Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu 'alaihi wassallam) and the Imaams of guidance (may Allaah be pleased with them) from the first three generations, those whose goodness Allaah's Messenger (salallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) bore witness to in his statement:
"The best of mankind is my generation, then those who follow them, then those who follow them. Then there will come people where bearing witness of one of them will precede his taking an oath and his taking an oath will be his bearing witness."
[Reported by Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal in the 'Musnad', 'Al-Bukhaaree', and Muslim]*
And "The Salafiyyoon [or Salafees]" is the plural of "Salafi", an attachment or affiliation to the Salaf, and its meaning has already preceded above - and they are those who traverse upon the Methodology (Manhaj) of the Salaf in following the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah [of the Messenger of Allaah], and inviting to them, and acting upon them, and they are, due to this, Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah.
* Imaam Ahmad: (4/426). Al-Bukhaaree: (2651). Muslim: (2535).

🎗ما حكم الانتساب إلى السلفية والتسمي بها؟

فأجاب بقوله:
«أمر طيب سواء انتسبتَ إلى السلفية أم السنة ...وهذه النسبة ليست كنسبة الحزبيين»
