Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 198 So does the one who has knowledge and does not convey it sin because of that?
Answer:
Conveyance is of two types: conveying the texts, meaning that you recite the verse or recite the hadith for admonition and reminder, or you memorize it for the people; this is conveying the text. That is fine. The second type is conveying the meanings and jurisprudence; this is not done except by the people of knowledge, not done except by the people of knowledge. You do not explain the hadith or interpret the verses unless you are among the people of knowledge.
