What is the ruling on teaching 'aqidah based on hearing alone?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for me to teach my family and friends what I have heard and studied regarding 'aqidah from the scholars?
The Shaykh:
No, general hearing is not sufficient. You must study 'aqidah with the scholars, listen to their explanations, and ask them about whatever is difficult for you.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
You may tell them that you heard such and such; there is nothing wrong with that. But teaching is not allowed. Yes.
