Saying "I am Salafî", when is it, and when is it not allowed? | Sh Ibn 'Uthaymîn (Rahimahullah)

Q. Is one who calls himself a "Salafi" to be considered a partisan (hizbi?)
A. There is not harm [1] in labelling oneself with Salafiyyah when it is in truth. However, if it is merely a claim then it is not permissible to label oneself with Salafiyyah, whilst one is upon a manhaj other than that of the Salaf.
The Ash'aris for example, say "We are Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah" and this is not correct. This is because what they are upon is not the manhaj of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah. It is likewise for the Mu'tazilah who call themselves "Muwahhideen" (Monotheists).
All of them claim to have love for Laylaa
Yet Laylaa does not affirm this for any of them
Hence, the one who claims that he is upon the madhhab of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah [actually] follows the path of Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah and abandons the Opposers. However if he [is one who] wants to unite the lizard and the fisth - as they say - meaning, to unite a creature from the land with a creature from the sea, then this is not possible. Or to unite water and fire in a vessel. In light of this, Ahl us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah do not reconcile with the path (madhhab) of those who oppose them such as the Khawarij, the Mu'tazilah, the Hizbiyyeen amongst those who call themselves, the Contemporary Muslims. Such is one who wants to unite between the errors and misguidance of the contemporaries with the manhaj of the Salaf. So "the latter part of this Ummah will not be corrected except by that which corrected its earliest part." The essence of the matter is that it is necessary to weigh matters and to separate them.
NOTES
[1] Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "There is no criticism for the one who proclaims the way (madhdhab) of the Salaf, who attaches himself to it and refers to it. Rather, it is obligatory to accept that from him by unanimous agreement (Ittifaaq) because the way (madhdhab) of the Salaf is nothing but the Truth (Haqq)" [Majmoo al-Fataawaa 4:149]
I say: Reflect dear reader upon the words of Shaikh ul-Islaam which [were uttered] before approximately eight centuries, and it is as if he is refuting one of the contemporaries of today who ascribes himself to knowledge and says, Whoever makes it obligatory upon the people that he should be an Ikhwani or a Salafi or a Tablighi or a Sururi, then his repentance should be sought. Either he repents or he is to be killed.!!!
He said this in a cassette which circulated heavily amongst the youth and which was called "Flee from Hizbiyyah Like you would from a Lion" [*]
[*] After completing this book some papers reached me which contained some of Aaid al-Qarnis recantations from some of his errors. I found that amongst them was his recantation of this grave error. It is from justice that we mention this particular one: "Fourteen: I had said in a cassette, Whoever makes it obligatory upon the people that he should be an Ikhwani or a Salafi or a Tablighi or a Sururi, then his repentance should be sought. Either he repents or he is to be killed. This is an error that emanated from me and I seek Allaahs forgiveness from it. What I meant was that whoever did that, then he has legislated (into the religion). However, it is an error regardless and I pardon myself from it. I believe that the madhhab of the Salaf is the correct madhhab and it is the one that is obligatory for the people to follow, to be guided by it and to traverse its path."
So I say: Subhanallaah! How has he granted himself the right to place the True Salafi Manhaj amongst these other methodologies (manahij) and astray, innovative deviant sects?
And our question to this person who actually lives in the land of Tawhid and who holds a Masters degree in Hadith is if a person is not a Salafi then what is he?
And the Allaamah, Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz the [former] mufti of Saudi Arabia was asked: What do you say about the on

WHO ARE THE SAVED SECT?
The Prophet ﷺ informed that many differences would occur in this nation, when he said:
“The Jews divided into seventy-one sects, and the Christians divided into seventy-two sects. My nation will divide into seventy-three sects, and all of them will be in the Fire except one.”
Upon hearing this, the Companions asked, “Which group will not enter the Fire O Messenger of Allah?” He (the Messenger ﷺ ) replied: “Those who are upon what I and my Companions are upon today.”
This is the methodology of the Salaf as-Saalih. It is that which the Prophet and his Companions were upon, and those who followed them with good. The present situation mandates that one knows the way of the Salaf as-Saalih, in order to adhere to it, because it is the path of salvation.
All of the other groups will be in the Hell-fire, except one. This is the saved sect and they are Ahlus Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. Only one
group will be saved, which is the group that once the people become divided, the paths become numerous, the groups and ways multiply, this is the group that will be upon the way of the Salaf as-Saalih.
This warrants that the person holds tight to it and is patient upon it until he meets The Lord of this religion, The Sublime and High.

DAWAH FOR SISTERS # ADVANTAGEOR DISADVANTAGE👍
Shaykh Muḥammad Naṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī
An explanation of the conditions needed for women to be involved in the field of daʿwah.
bismallah
This is one of the innovations of modern times and it is not specific to women alone.
Shaykh Muḥammad Naṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī
What is the best way for women to give daʿwah?
Answer:
I say to the women to stay in your homes, and you should not concern yourselves with the daʿwah. I rebuke the usage of the word 'al-Daʿwah', especially by the male youth who say, 'those are from the people of the Daʿwah, as if 'daʿwah' has become the fashion of the modern times. So now every person who has a little knowledge becomes a dāʿīyah (caller). So the matter did not stop with the male youth, until it carried to the female youth and to the housewives, until they abandoned the obligations they have towards their houses and their husbands and their children. They turned away from the obligatory things to that which is not obligatory upon them, like giving Daʿwah. The general rule for the woman is to stay in her home as has been legislated for her, and not to go out except for a dire need. This is because of the statement of the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam):
"…and their houses are better for them."
As opposed to praying in the Mosque. Nowadays, we see a widespread fad between the women that they frequent the mosques for the congregational prayers in addition to the Friday prayer. However, their houses are better for them, except if there is a mosque near them and the imām is a scholar and he teaches the attendees some knowledge. Then, the women may go out for prayer in the mosque, to listen to the knowledge; there is nothing to prevent them from that. As for the woman excessively involved in Daʿwah, let her stay in her home and read from the books provided for her by her husband, or her brother, or her maḥārim (close male relatives whom she is not allowed to marry). Then, there is nothing to prevent her from taking a day where she call some of the women to come to her house, or that she goes out herself to attend in the home of a woman to share religious knowledge. So that is better than a group of women going to her.
As for that she embarks on a journey, and it could be that she travels without a maḥram, then what is claimed is that she went out for Daʿwah. This is one of the innovations of modern times and it is not specific to women alone. Even some of the male youth excessively talk about Daʿwah, and yet they have very little knowledge.

📌“The Prophet ﷺ ordered them not to attach a prayer to another until they speak or leave their place.”
● [صحيح مسلم]
Sunnah Fajr prayers should be like this:

Nāfi’ narrated that Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما heard the sound of a wind instrument playing. As a result of this he placed his fingers in his ears and turned his riding camel away from the road (on which the music was playing). Ibn ‘Umar said: “Nāfi’ can you hear it?” I said: “Yes”. Ibn ‘Umar continued riding with his fingers in his ears until I said: “I can’t hear it anymore.” After that, Ibn ‘Umar removed his fingers from his ears and changed the road he was riding on. Then Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما said: “I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ place his fingers in his ears when he heard wind instruments and music playing.”

It's ridiculous how some brothers are now making it seem like a condition that the translators need tazkiyaat before they can translate. Here is what I'm coming across these days...
"akhee who recommended him from the du'aat?"
If you come across such brothers, send them the following.
http://mtws.posthaven.com/does-a-translator-need-a-tazkiyah-shaykh-zayd
Ask these brothers, who preceded you from the 'ulama in making that a binding condition?
As long as the brother's (translator's) condition (Salafi, trustworthy, possesses precision) is attested to, he translates from Kitaab and Sunnah, from our mashaykh and he is proficient in both languages (the one he is translating from and the one he is translating to) and understands the context of what he is translating, then he can translate. He doesn't need to get a stamp of approval from YOUR hand-picked-restricted number of du'aat (like as if there aren't any other Salafi du'aat and/or students of knowledge in the dunya) in order for him to translate. What type of ghuluww is this!?

♻️The bad character of the Salafis turns me away from this Minhaj! Advice from Shaykh Ahmad Bazmool♻️
Question❓: Some of the people say: ‘I believe that Salafiyah is the truth, but the manners of the Salafis, chases me away from this Minhaj.
Shaykh Ahmad Bazmool🎓: Okay, the answer to this question is with a number of points.
📌1⃣The first point: Did you embrace Islam, and follow the Salafi Minhaj for the sake of the people or for the sake of Allah? (You did so) for the sake of Allah the Exalted. You followed His religion and you seek the reward from Him—the Glorified and Exalted. You are not seeking a reward from the people; if the people err then stay away from their errors. The believer who mixes with the people and is patient with their harms is better than the one who does not mix with the people. This is the first point.
📌2⃣The second point: If you find with your brothers mistakes, infractions, and bad manners, and they are Salafis; then you advise them and clarify to them and be diligent in guiding them.
📌3⃣The third point: By Allah, your Salafi brothers and their bad manners which you complain about; by Allah, they are better than the Hizbis whom you deem to have good manners.
📌4⃣The fourth point: The Salafi with his manners has a higher status than the Hizbi with good manners; because the Hizbi is lowly and debased due to his hizbiyah and his opposition to the truth.
📌5⃣The fifth point: We say to you my brother, Shaytan—when it comes to the Salafis—he is diligent upon trying to cause disorder and harm amongst them, and to corrupt their character, so don’t be a victim for Shaytan, allowing him to use you against your Salafi brothers. And also Shaytan is far away from these Hizbis because Shaytan does not go to a ruined house. As it was said by some of the Salafi—and I believe it was Al-Awzaai or other than him—he said: Ahlus Sunnah have with them some loneliness or alienation. Why? He said: Shaytan comes to them and he tries to mislead them, and he tries to turn the people away from them. As for the innovators; they have repose and serenity, such that Shaytan is able to trap the people with them. So beware, beware of being deceived by their calmness and good manners, such that you fall into their traps;
for verily it is poisonous and it is destruction. Beware of fleeing from the truth due to some alienation of some bad interaction which you find from your brothers.
And furthermore; Allah forbid you should experience the likes of some of this, but if you are patient, seeking a reward from Allah, then your reward is with Allah. Therefore pay attention to these affairs; may Allah bless you.

Question❓: Some of the people say: ‘I believe that Salafiyah is the truth, but the manners of the Salafis, chases me away from this Minhaj.
Shaykh Ahmad Bazmool🎓: Okay, the answer to this question is with a number of points.
📌1⃣The first point: Did you embrace Islam, and follow the Salafi Minhaj for the sake of the people or for the sake of Allah? (You did so) for the sake of Allah the Exalted. You followed His religion and you seek the reward from Him—the Glorified and Exalted. You are not seeking a reward from the people; if the people err then stay away from their errors. The believer who mixes with the people and is patient with their harms is better than the one who does not mix with the people. This is the first point.
📌2⃣The second point: If you find with your brothers mistakes, infractions, and bad manners, and they are Salafis; then you advise them and clarify to them and be diligent in guiding them.
📌3⃣The third point: By Allah, your Salafi brothers and their bad manners which you complain about; by Allah, they are better than the Hizbis whom you deem to have good manners.
📌4⃣The fourth point: The Salafi with his manners has a higher status than the Hizbi with good manners; because the Hizbi is lowly and debased due to his hizbiyah and his opposition to the truth.
📌5⃣The fifth point: We say to you my brother, Shaytan—when it comes to the Salafis—he is diligent upon trying to cause disorder and harm amongst them, and to corrupt their character, so don’t be a victim for Shaytan, allowing him to use you against your Salafi brothers. And also Shaytan is far away from these Hizbis because Shaytan does not go to a ruined house. As it was said by some of the Salafi—and I believe it was Al-Awzaai or other than him—he said: Ahlus Sunnah have with them some loneliness or alienation. Why? He said: Shaytan comes to them and he tries to mislead them, and he tries to turn the people away from them. As for the innovators; they have repose and serenity, such that Shaytan is able to trap the people with them. So beware, beware of being deceived by their calmness and good manners, such that you fall into their traps;
for verily it is poisonous and it is destruction. Beware of fleeing from the truth due to some alienation of some bad interaction which you find from your brothers.
And furthermore; Allah forbid you should experience the likes of some of this, but if you are patient, seeking a reward from Allah, then your reward is with Allah. Therefore pay attention to these affairs; may Allah bless you.

‘Ali Ibn Abee Taalib said:
“The thing I fear for you most is following desires and having extensive hopes (about this worldly life).
Following one’s desires blocks you from the truth, and having extensive hopes makes you forget the hereafter.
Verily, this worldly life is departing and the hereafter is approaching and each of them has its children.
So be children of the hereafter, not children of this world, for today there are (opportunities to do) deeds and there is no reckoning, but tomorrow there will be reckoning and no deeds.”
[Aboo Nu’aym, Hilyah Al-Awliyaa’, 1/40]

SPEAK WITH KNOWLEDGE OR SAY, ”ALLAAH KNOWS BEST”-
[BY IBN MAS’OOD (RADIYALLAAHU-ANHU)]
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) reported in I’laam Al-Muwaqqi’een 2/185 that Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said, “Whoever has knowledge, then let him speak with it. And whoever does not have knowledge, then let him say, ‘Allaah knows best’, for indeed Allaah said to His Prophet:
[قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ – Say (O Muhammad): “No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur’an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist). [Surah Saad. Ayah 86]

A man undergoes many trials during his life, but the worst are those inflicted by his fellow man. The harm done by man to man is worse than the harm done by furious beasts and poisoned vipers, for you cannot protect yourself at all against the human race.

Questioner: Who are Ahlus-Sunnah wal-jamaa'ah?
The Shaikh: They are those that hold firmly to that which the companions were upon
Questioner: Are the Salafees Ahlus-Sunnah wal-jamaa'ah?
The Shaikh: Yes; As-Salafiyyah is the Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah, that is because the meaning of Salafiyyah is to hold firmly onto that which the righteous Salaf were upon in the past
Questioner: O Shaikh; the jamaa'ah of the Ikhwaan (Al-Muslimeen) and At-Tableegh - are they from Ahlus-Sunnah?
The Shaikh: Everyone who is upon an ideology which is contrary to Ahlus-Sunnah then they are not from them, so the jamaa'ah of the Ikhwaan (Al-Muslimeen) and At-Tableegh are not from Ahlus-Sunnah, because they are upon idelogies that are contrary to them.

A Warning To Women From Conversing With Men.....
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen was asked:
What is your opinion regarding some women who are easy going and free when talking to men? It is hoped that you could offer them (some) words of guidance; and may Allaah reward you with good.
Response:
“It is not permissible for a woman to extend her speech beyond that which is necessary with men who are not her mahram. This is because it leads to fitnah, and Allaah (Tabaaraka wa Ta’aala) says:
‘…then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner’
[Soorah al-Ahzaab: 32]
(So) she must speak to the (market) trader in accordance with her needs, without extending (her speech with him). This is because Shaytaan flows through the son of Aadam as blood flows. And how many a woman says that she is far removed from fitnah, however, Shaytaan is still with her in order to invite her to the fitnah.
It is possible that she has just left (the company of) a man with whom she unnecessarily extended her speech with, and then Shaytaan whispers evil thoughts to her until she returns back to this man and the first words (they exchange) become the sparks (which initiate the fitnah) and the final words – a blazing inferno (when they have both fallen into the fitnah); and refuge is sought in Allaah!
So it is required of the woman to fear Allaah and not to succumb to such speech, and nor to extend speech beyond that which is necessary. And an example of this – and it is indeed an evident scourge, rather a major scourge – and that is what occurs by way of the telephone.
So there are many pathetic fools who dial any random number (in the hope of speaking to a woman) and (then they find) a woman (who eventually) speaks to them. So he says words of affection to her and they continue like this again and again. He then records their conversations – and this is a problem, because he will never leave her alone. So he records all their conversations, and when matters turn ugly (between them), he says to her: ‘Either you do (such-and-such) or I will give (the recordings) to your son or brother or father or other than them, so they can hear your voice (and what we talked about).’
So because of this, I warn the women from (unnecessarily) extending conversation with men; indeed it is a danger of immense proportions, and we ask Allaah for safety from the fitan.”
