The Characteristics of the Saved Sect (Al-Firqah Al-Najiyah)
The third question of Fatwa no. 6229
Question 3: Please tell us
the characteristics of the Saved Sect; who are they, what is their methodology
and what is their country if there is any mention of it in the Hadith of the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) or in the statements of scholars?
Answer: The Saved Sect is the one that follows in the footsteps of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his Companions as defined by the Prophet (peace be upon him). Their methodology is following the Qur’an and Sunnah as well as other rules based upon them.
However, they are not located exclusively
in a given country.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our
Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
