Question:
I am one of the students of knowledge and I attend your lessons. One of the brothers criticized me for not responding to those who disagree, saying, "Do not waste your time clarifying the error of those who disagree." I attend the lessons of the scholars, and I transmit the scholars' statements in refuting those who disagree. Am I correct or not?
Answer:
As long as you are a student of knowledge, focus on seeking knowledge and do not engage in refutations. Refutations are not undertaken by anyone but the scholars who know the error, know how to respond, and know the appropriateness of responding or not. So, you are a student of knowledge; focus on seeking knowledge and leave the refutations to the established scholars of knowledge. Yes.
