we have here the following Problem:
Some Brothers think when somenone follows the Aqeedah of the Salaf, i.e. say that Allah is above the throne and said the right statements concerning the Names and the Attributes concerning Allah subhanehu wa ta´ala, and wears Sunnah Cloth, and have a beard and pray as Shaykh al-Albani has described in his Book concerning the Salah of the Prophet sallallahu aleyhi wa sellam.
Some Brothers think that when we see these attributes on a Brother, that he is a Salafi!
Can someone post Links or Articles that brings light concerning this issue!
And an Article concerning when do we say that someone is a Salafi and when did we say that someone is not a Salafi or is outside from Salafiyyah.
Baarakallahu feeqhum.
Please answer as soon as possible because we need this very soon to bring light on this issue.
As selam aleykum ve rahmetullah ve barakatuh.
