Question:
Shaykh, a questioner says: There are sects that make it difficult for their followers to reflect on the Qur'an and read books, because they say that the Shari'ah has an outward and an inward aspect. What is the ruling on their statement?
Answer:
He says: There are sects that make it difficult for their followers. Yes, sects. They make it difficult for their followers to reflect on the Qur'an and read books, because they say that these are misguided sects that prevent the reading of the Book and the Sunnah and the creed of the righteous Salaf. These are misguided sects; do not obey them and do not act according to them. There are people among them who burn books of creed. If they could, they would burn the Qur'an, because they say that it takes people away from them and leads to Satanic doubts. Leave them and seek knowledge from others. Yes.
