The Ruling on Spreading Anomalous Opinions Among Students and the General Public
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, this questioner says: What is our position, as students of knowledge, regarding some students of knowledge who bring up anomalous opinions and spread them among the students or among the general public?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to spread anomalous opinions, scholarly disagreements, and disputes. This is not permissible because it leads to laxity among people, or it causes confusion and disturbance among people. So, one does not seek out anomalous opinions and disagreements and spread them to people. This causes harm and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and it causes confusion among people. Yes.
