Question:
This questioner says: He says: There are some legal principles that prevent listening to the people of innovation, and it passed us in the book that the truth is accepted from anyone, even from an enemy.
Answer:
Yes, the truth is accepted. It is accepted from whoever brings it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted it from the Jew when he said, "You associate partners with Allah; you say, 'What Allah willed and what Muhammad willed.'" He accepted this, even though the Jew was an enemy. So the truth is accepted from whoever brings it. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
