Question:
Disparaging scholars is a bad phenomenon that stems from ignorance. We direct your attention to Allah.
Answer:
It is not due to ignorance; rather, any hostility toward scholars, knowledge, and the scholars themselves is a matter of misguidance and deviation, may Allah protect us from that. Otherwise, what is the scholars' fault with him? Did they wrong him? Did they take his money? He is hostile to the knowledge they possess and to the practice they possess because he wants society to strip itself of its religion and its morals, and the scholars resist this and refute it. Yes.
