Abstract:
Both in the modern period and historically, Salafism has been associated with auto-didacticism and an assertion that Islam’s scriptures are clear and accessible to ordinary Muslims without mediation of the Islamic scholars. Indeed, Salafi writings often confirm this impression. In contrast, however, both in the pre-modern and modern settings, in both their writings and lessons, leading scholars associated with Salafism have insisted on the need for the Muslim laity to turn to a scholarly class to offer accurate understandings of their religion. This article investigates this apparent tension, arguing that what seems to be Salafi anticlericalism or calls for a democratization of interpretation is a rhetorical tactic employed in debates with mainstream Sunni scholars rather than substantive prescriptions.
