The Shaykh:
Yes.

He says: Is it permissible to take knowledge from an innovator, arguing with the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him?
The Shaykh:
The truth is to be accepted from whoever brings it, my brother. The truth is to be accepted from whoever brings it. Even from the Jews, if they bring the truth, we accept it. And even if Iblis brings the truth, it is accepted. Yes.
