Taking from Deviant Preachers in Some Matters of Creed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: There are some preachers and students of knowledge who have delved into matters of creed and deviated from the creed of the people of the Sunnah in some matters.
The Shaykh:
But.
The questioner:
He says: There are some preachers and students of knowledge who have delved into matters of creed and deviated from the creed of the people of the Sunnah in some matters. The question is: Do we take knowledge from them if this is their approach?
The Shaykh:
If this is true, it is an accusation, because people today have started throwing accusations at each other, and if you investigate, you find no truth to it. If it is true that they have deviated in some of the fundamentals of creed, then it is not permissible to take from them. There are others, praise be to Allah, who have remained firm on the creed, and one may take from them. As for the one who is known to have deviated in some of the fundamentals of creed, one does not take from him until he repents to Allah the Mighty and Majestic and returns to the truth. But as I mentioned to you, the matter should not be an accusation, because most of what is said now about so-and-so is an accusation and is not true. Yes, something may occur in their hearts, and then they accuse, saying he said such-and-such, or that he said something and this person did not understand it and attributed error to him. So the matter requires verification and deliberation in these affairs. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
