Manhaj Salafi

Treading the Path of the Prophet Muhammad

[manhajsalafi-blog]

Our Manhaj is the truth

The truth is the only thing that deserves to be followed and adhered to. We follow the truth wherever it is, whether it is in the Hanafi, Shafi’i, Maliki or Hanbali Mazhab, we follow it everywhere. 

If it is with the Hanafi, we follow it; if it is with the Maliki, we follow it; if it is with the Shafi’i, we follow it and if it is with the Hanbali, we follow it. Our Path is the Path of truth, not that of blind following. 

Shaykh Al Albani said:  We do not have a specific Mazhab; our Mazhab is to go with the truth wherever it may be. [Su’aalaat 7/186]
