Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the philosophers and the science of philosophy: what is the ruling on studying this science, and what are the beliefs of those people?
Answer:
It is not permissible to study philosophy. The Shari'ah, praise be to Allah, is sufficient and adequate; we do not need philosophy, except for the purpose of refuting the philosophers. If you want to refute them, you must learn what philosophy is and what it entails. Yes.
