What is the response to those who say, “Take knowledge from the scholars, but do not take their opinions on the groups, because it has been confused for them?”

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are some who say and repeat this phrase and spread it, which is: “Take knowledge from the great scholars, but do not take their methodology and their rulings on the groups, because it has been confused for them by those around them.” What is your opinion of this statement, may Allah grant you success?

Answer:
This is a contradiction. The scholars have become such that they do not understand; they do not understand the false methodologies and the false statements, and that they believe people without verification and without [verification]. They do not follow the saying of Allah the Exalted: This is, in reality, belittling the scholars. And this is a contradiction. There is no power and no strength except with Allah. Yes.
