The ruling on non-specialists in Islamic sciences taking the lead in gatherings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The question says: Some of those whom Allah has guided to righteousness, who are not specialists in Islamic sciences but rather specialize in other worldly sciences, take the lead in some gatherings and have their own audiences. We would like clarification, may Allah preserve you.

Answer:
It is not permissible for anyone to take the lead in gatherings, or elsewhere, or in mosques, except one who has scholarly qualification and religious qualification—scholarly qualification and religious qualification. One does not take the lead in gatherings. This must be prevented, because even if his intention is good, his ignorance causes some defect due to his ignorance. If he is doing it intentionally, the matter is more severe. But we attribute it to ignorance. Ignorance is not suitable for guidance, nor is it suitable for admonition. This is the task of scholars and students of knowledge. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
