Advice for those who warn against scholars and their lessons

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: There are some students of knowledge who do not encourage the students under their care to attend the lessons of the scholars, and perhaps they have even warned them against attending the scholars' lessons, because they fear the people of innovation and methodological errors. Is it permissible for us to warn against these people who warn students against attending the scholars? And since you do not act upon their words, attend the scholars' lessons, benefit from them, and do not act upon their words.

Answer:
Do not act upon the words of those who warned you. But you must make it clear to these people that the lessons of these scholars are beneficial and that they do not involve attacking anyone, backbiting, or talebearing, but rather they are pure lessons. Perhaps something reached him about some of the lessons or about some of the shaykhs, because the talebearers and gossips are numerous today. Perhaps something reached him and he formed a bad opinion, so you should convey the truth about this and refute this accusation. If he accepts it, praise be to Allah, and if he does not accept it, leave him alone and devote yourselves to seeking knowledge.
