Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A student of knowledge has studied the foundational books in creed and learned them, and he wants to study the extensive works under a man who is not a Salafi, because there is no one else in his country who teaches that. Is this action permissible for him?
Answer:
What he has obtained from the scholars of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is sufficient. He should call this man, whom he calls a scholar of broad knowledge, to tawhid and explain it to him. If he responds and complies, praise be to Allah, and he should seek knowledge from him. But if he does not comply, he should distance himself from him so that he does not influence him. Yes.
