The Denunciation by the Words of Scholars When Evidence Is Not Presented
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: When forbidding evil is done with knowledge, but the one forbidding it does not have any evidence at hand, and he cites the statements of scholars, is that sufficient?
Answer:
As far as possible, if he is certain of the statements of the scholars and nothing else comes to mind, he says this; because the statements of the scholars issue from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
