The ruling on benefiting from a teacher described as al-Jami
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the Institute of Islamic Studies in Riyadh. They say: We have a teacher in a religious subject, and we have benefited greatly from him, but some of our classmates warn us against him because he says he is al-Jami. Does this prevent us from benefiting from him? Also, what is this al-Jamiyyah that they mention and raise?
Answer:
We do not know al-Jamiyyah; this is a name they have coined, and we do not know it. If it is attributed to our brother Muhammad Aaman al-Jami, then we know him. He is a scholar and a caller to Allah, and we have not known from him anything but the truth, nor have we experienced from him anything but good. However, you know that there are those who invent bad titles to turn people away from the truth. This harms only himself. The religion is victorious, and the people of the religion are victorious. The one who lags behind them or criticizes them harms only himself. He never harms the people of good. Yes.
