Distinguishing Truth from Falsehood and Recognizing the Firmly Rooted Scholars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: How does a person distinguish between truth and falsehood in these days, when there are so many callers to Islam and misguided groups? And how does one recognize the firmly rooted scholars?
Answer:
If a person knows neither this nor that, he is a fool. There is no one who can distinguish scholars from non-scholars, and no one who can distinguish truth from falsehood except a madman who has no mind. You know people by their deeds, their words, and their actions. You know them by this. If you reflect on this, you will know. Yes.
