Guiding Young Preachers Who Lack Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, he says: There is a group of young men who volunteer and go out to call some young men who are negligent in the camps and on the sidewalks, such as those who engage in sins and wrongs. They have good efforts and their impact is not bad. But Your Eminence the Shaykh, these young men lack some knowledge. Is there any guidance from Your Eminence?
Answer:
Yes, they must learn and deepen their understanding of Islamic jurisprudence, and they must strive to have with them scholars of knowledge to whom they can refer, so that they may cooperate in righteousness and piety. It is not permissible for a person to speak about Allah without knowledge. But they must learn and deepen their understanding, and speak only of what they know from what Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said. If it is possible for some knowledgeable sheikhs who know what Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to accompany them, that would be better for them, so that they may cooperate in righteousness and piety in their call to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
