Is It Permissible To Say: I Am Salafi?

Answered by Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbad Al-Badr

Question: What is your view O Shaykh concerning the saying of someone: ‘I’m Salafi or Athari?’

Shaykh Abdul Muhsin Al Abbad: The person must be diligent in being a follower of the Sunnah by way of actions. As for if it is said to you: ‘Are you Salafi?’ Yes, the person says: ‘I’m Salafi.’ Are you from Ahlus Sunnah? ‘Yes I am from Ahlus Sunnah, and all praises belong to Allah.’ As for mentioning this, or saying this, if there is a need for that, and it is applicable, then there is nothing wrong with this.
