Question:
This questioner says: What is your advice to us during times of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and trials, especially when we are unable to ask the shaykhs or contact the senior scholars, because there is no one of them in our country?
Answer:
My brother, you have the khulass (the people of knowledge) with you. The khulass, if Allah wills, have good in them. Usually, a country or a place near a country is not devoid of the khulass. So ask the khulass; if Allah wills, there is good in them. Yes.
