Advice for a student of knowledge who does not purify his knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, may Allah preserve you, we have a student of knowledge who benefits from it, but he does not purify his knowledge. We have a student of knowledge who benefits from it, but he does not purify his knowledge, and we need him to teach us. He claims that he is busy with memorization. What is your advice to him?
Answer:
He should fear Allah the Exalted and teach the ignorant. He should teach the ignorant, especially if they ask him and he has knowledge; it is obligatory for him to issue a ruling.[An-Nahl 16:43] It is obligatory for the ignorant person to ask, and it is obligatory for the scholar to answer, and he must not conceal the knowledge. [Al-Baqarah 2:159] It is not permissible to conceal the knowledge. People need it. The knowledge is not for you alone; the knowledge is for the people. So you must make it clear to them, even if they do not ask you, make it clear to them. How much more so if they ask you and request it from you?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and write for you reward and recompense. May Allah reward you with good.

So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَIndeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse,
الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَىٰ مِن بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ أُولَٰئِكَ يَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَThe presenter:
May Allah reward you and write for you reward and recompense. May Allah reward you with good.
