The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a young man, eighteen years old, and I deliver lessons. I am a young man, eighteen years old, yes, and I deliver lessons and some speeches in the mosques. So one of the people rebuked me and said that I am young in age and have not yet learned. Is his rebuke of me correct?
The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.
The questioner:
I am a young man, eighteen years old, and I deliver lessons, and some of the people
The Shaykh:
upon us from the years upon us from the knowledge. Do you have knowledge? Then there is no harm. Old or young. But if you do not have knowledge, even if you are an old man, it is not permissible. Yes.
