The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: We are non-Arab students of knowledge who have emigrated to one of the Muslim countries. We study the creed of the People of the Sunnah under the scholars of the Sunnah in that country. However, the systematic study that grants us residency in that country teaches us a creed that contradicts the creed of the People of the Sunnah. If we do not answer according to this creed, we will fail the exam and not obtain residency. He asks: What is your advice to us in this matter?
The Shaykh:
Yes, answer according to their methodology and the knowledge they have taught you, but study the creed of the People of the Sunnah from others.
The questioner:
In the mosques.
The Shaykh:
In the centers, yes.
