There is no blame on one who manifests the madhdhab of the Salaf

Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah Ta’ala have mercy on him, said:

There is no blame on one who manifests the madhdhab of the Salaf, affiliates with it, and takes pride in it; rather, accepting that from him is obligatory by consensus.

قال شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية رحمه الله: لا عيب على من أظهر مذهب السلف وانتسب إليه واعتزى إليه بل يجب قبول ذلك منه بالاتفاق.
