A Critique on the Epistemological Nature of Salafi Theology

Salafism as a school of belief and theology is rooted in the orientation of the companions of hadith and the invitation of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and in the last two centuries has relied specifically on the beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah, presenting his thoughts as the main axis of Salafi thought, being lucky and unlucky in various cases. The claim of the study is that with an external and second-rate view of "Salafi speech", one can mention the epistemological identity of Salafi speech as a critic, and critique the principles and issues of this school of thought based on a logical structure. The method of research and collecting data is library and documentary-based, and the study of epistemological foundations, hermeneutic critique, explanation of shortcomings in the study of humanities and religious science in the Salafi school, the contradiction of Salafism with the principles of Salaf and the need to internalize the critique of Salafi speech are important findings of the study.
