Question:
Finally, the questioner Ahmad from al-Jawf asks: Is it permissible to take knowledge from people who do not have shaykhs, but who have acquired their understanding from books and audio tapes?
Answer:
This is haram (forbidden) and not permissible. These people are not scholars; rather, they are ignorant people who pretend to be scholars. Therefore, knowledge is not taken from papers or books, but rather from scholars through direct transmission and gradual progression in knowledge.
