What is your advice regarding the disputes occurring among those who claim Salafism in Yemen? Is any of them deviating from the path of Salafism? And how should an impartial person deal with these factions?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Salafism is a methodology of returning to the Quran and Sunnah according to the understanding of the righteous predecessors of the Ummah. It is not affiliated with a specific group; rather, this methodology judges groups. It is not permissible for any group to monopolize this methodology and exclude others due to disagreements on jurisprudential issues, for the disagreements among the Salaf did not lead to hatred. Cooperation and avoiding fanaticism and partisanship are necessary, as is shunning discord and aligning with those who align with Allah, His Messenger, and the believers.
