Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner from Belgium asks: Is it permissible for us to take knowledge from a person whose status we do not know? And are the endorsements of scholars a condition for taking knowledge from him?
Answer:
If there is benefit in him and you do not know of any harm regarding him, and there is benefit, then take it from him. As for the innovator and the one who opposes the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community in creed, do not take from him. Yes.
