Are Salafi and Hanbali the same. I thought Hanbalis were followers of the Madhab of Imam Ahmed (ra) and Salafi/Wahhabi were a comparatively recent sect that sprouted, with some things in common with the Hanbalis. Or are they the same? I don't know, Can you shed some light on this.

wa alaikum salam,

No, Salafis and Hanbalis are not the same. *Some wahhabis follow the Hanbali school in matters of usul and furu' whilst salafi do not make taqlid of an imam in these affairs. Salafis and Wahhabis share the same 'aqidah and due to the fact that *some hanbalis held similar aqidah views, salafis are sometimes mistaken for hanbalis. So if someone says salafi/hanbali, they probably mean wahhabi and Allah knows best. Furthermore, it seems that the wahhabi hanbalis follow most of Ibn Taymiyyah's "ikhtiyarat" views and do not stick to the mufta bihi....
