Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on listening to storytellers with the intention of receiving admonition, since I am unable to attend the circles of knowledge with the scholars, and I do not understand the terms of Islamic jurisprudence that they use?
Answer:
Do not sit with the storytellers. The Salaf warned against the storytellers, who are the preachers that focus on stories, even if they are lies, and focus on the tales they claim affect people, while they do not focus on the Qur'an and the Sunnah, but rather rely on stories and tales. So the Salaf warned against them and against listening to them. Yes.
