Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to seek knowledge from a man who goes to the cinema and the like?
Answer:
Choose from the teachers those who fear Allah and are far from sins. Yes, because the people of knowledge say that some of the Salaf said, "This knowledge is religion." I think Ibn Sirin said, "This knowledge is religion, so look at whom you take your religion from." Yes.
