Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the criterion for the shaykh from whom knowledge is taken? And is it the case that if a person errs on a methodological issue, no knowledge is taken from him at all?
Answer:
You must choose the scholars who are pious and known for their knowledge and piety. Strive in this, and Allah will grant you success, Glorified and Exalted is He. People know the scholars; they recognize them and turn to them more than to others. Yes.
