Shaikh Saaleh Al Fawzaan: True Salafiyyah Is Islaam (http://salaficentre.com/2011/10/shaikh-saaleh-al-fawzaan-true-salafiyyah-is-islaam/)

Excerpt:


However, ascription to this methodology requires knowledge of its fundamentals in order that the Muslim may adhere to it. It is also required to have knowledge of the other methodologies that are in opposition to Salafiyyah in order to avoid them. Salafiyyah upon the path of the pious predecessors has to be upon knowledge and clear sightedness. It is not enough for the person to ascribe himself to (salafiyyah) whilst being ignorant of it or being in opposition to it.

And for that reason Allaah (The Most High) said: "And also those who followed them exactly (in Faith)."

They followed with knowledge. They neither go into extremes nor into unwarranted harshness. They neither exaggerate nor become negligent, such as those who ascribe themselves to the Madhabs of the four Imams (Abu Haneefah, Maalik, Shaa-fi’ee and Ahmad) whilst being in opposition to them in Creed and Worship. And not like the one who ascribes himself to the methodology of the pious predecessors yet he either declares the Muslims to be disbelievers or rebels against the Muslim rulers, or he goes towards any other direction of extremism. This person is not a follower of the pious predecessors; rather he is named a khaariji or a mutazili. And not like the one who ascribes himself to the methodology of the pious predecessors, but he speaks with the statement of the mur’ji’a in the affair of Eemaan and Kufr. This is not Salafiyyah.

Therefore, it is obligatory to pay attention to this affair, and not mix the salafi methodology with the other methodologies that are in opposition to it. And they say: "all these methodologies (including the salafi methodology) are not from Islaam." This is speculative speech, deviation in judgment and a cause of confusing the people through doubts.
