Learning from Preachers Who Recently Adopted the Methodology of the Salaf

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside this country says: We have sheikhs and preachers who were upon false beliefs, then they were guided by the grace of Allah, and then by looking into the books of the righteous Salaf. Praise be to Allah. He knows that in our country there are no sheikhs or scholars from whom we can inherit knowledge, and they cannot travel to seek knowledge due to their financial circumstances. His question is: Are these people upon the way of the righteous Salaf, so is there no harm in taking knowledge from them?

Answer:
Fear Allah and do not take knowledge from them. But they may be excused because they cannot do more than this. Fear Allah as much as you are able, and they should contact the people of knowledge. The means of communication are many today, praise be to Allah: the mobile phone, the telephone, correspondence. Yes.
