Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some students of knowledge back away from learning certain matters of creed for fear of making a mistake in any of them. Is their action correct? What? Some students of knowledge back away from learning certain matters of creed for fear of making a mistake in any of them. Is their action correct?

Answer:
No, this is from Shaytan. Shaytan tells him, "Do not learn knowledge. I am afraid you will make a mistake and not act upon your knowledge, and then you will be punished." He tells him, "Do not pray at night; people will accuse you of showing off (riya')." "Do not give charity; people will accuse you of showing off." Shaytan comes to him through this door. Do not obey Shaytan. Seek knowledge, pray, fast, give charity, and do good deeds, and do not pay attention to Shaytan's whispers. Yes.
