Question:
He says: What is the meaning of the Salaf's statement: "Look to whom you take your religion from"? Is the consideration based on the person himself, or on something else?
Answer:
The consideration is for the one from whom knowledge is received to be a scholar and to be pious, combining both qualities: knowledge and piety. This is because he takes knowledge from him, and he takes his religion and his example from him.
