No matter how this account looks, I’m never above anyone. I’m a sinner with many faults, and I only share reminders hoping Allah forgives me and benefits others through them.

@IsmailKamdar The entire personality type hinges on finding the imperfect and criticising it/trying to encourage change
If they had lived both they’d probably prefer to live under one of them
Their behaviour however wouldn’t change
The aim is simple: expose selective traditionalism. Many invoke the Salaf where it suits them but quietly abandon or reinterpret other parts of the classical tradition once they become socially uncomfortable.
