The ruling on seeking knowledge from those who differ in matters of faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We ask: Is it permissible to seek knowledge from those who hold that deeds are a condition for the perfection of faith, but not a condition for the validity of faith, in matters other than 'aqidah, such as fiqh and its principles?
Answer:
If you find someone better than them, seek knowledge from the one who is better, from one who holds the 'aqidah of the people of the Sunnah and the community. If you do not find such a person, there is no harm in seeking knowledge from them in fiqh and the like, but do not follow them in the error they hold regarding 'aqidah. Yes.
