Questions:
1. What advice do you give to brothers and sisters who recognise Salafiyyah to be the truth but fear accepting it due to sins they havn’t been able to discontinue in totality or a lifestyle people will consider unpraiseworthy? Some think you have to be perfect and sin-free to be Salafī and Banī Ādam do not make mistakes.
2. How do we understand the Salafī da’wah in light of the various madhāhib? Many are under the impression that Salafīs belittle the Ḥanafī Madhhab, are literalists and lack understanding of Fiqh.
