Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner submitted his question via the network. He says: There are those who claim that the scholars of da'wah focus on correcting 'aqidah according to the writings of the Shaykh, but they do not care about studying hadith, nor do they care about distinguishing the authentic from the weak. They do not care about knowing the principles and rules of fiqh, nor about fiqh, scholarly disagreement, and expanding in that area. They do not care about the other sciences. What is the truth in this? Clarify it for us, may Allah forgive you.
Answer:
All of this is a lie and slander. Everyone knows that this is a lie. All of this is a lie and slander. Everyone knows that this is a lie. So the scholars of da'wah, and praise be to Allah, do not take on the role of da'wah unless they know how to call to Allah. They study hadith. They study tafsir. They study fiqh. They study the Arabic language. They study the principles of fiqh and the terminology of hadith. They study these sciences and care about them. They do not study them for themselves and act as if they are scholars, as is happening now, but rather they take them from the scholars and bear them from the scholars. So they do not enter into this matter unless they are qualified for it. And so Allah has written success for their da'wah, and praise be to Allah, whereas these self-proclaimed scholars who claim knowledge slander people because they do not have knowledge and that they are lacking in sciences. No effect has appeared for their da'wah; rather, failure and division have appeared in their da'wah. This is what happened from them. As for the scholars of da'wah and the imams of da'wah, Allah has written success and acceptance for their da'wah, and all praise is for Allah.

May Allah reward you
