Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what do you say about those who are innovators in the matter of water and the calculation in the salam? Do you not confirm upon them?
Answer:
The ruling is that he is misguided in any case. If he knows the validity of the evidence and its falsehood, then he is lying. But if he does not know about the validity of the evidence, he may be excused due to ignorance. However, he must learn. It is not permissible for an ignorant person to speak about matters of the Shari'ah without knowledge; it is obligatory for him to learn. But he is in danger that he will speak about them and then exit his religion. It is not permissible to speak about these matters except with knowledge and insight. Yes.
