Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a student of knowledge to explain a concise book on creed to a group of students?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to explain it to them unless he is a scholar. If he is a scholar, there is no harm. However, if he is merely a student of knowledge who has not learned, it is not permissible for him to explain to people. He may make many mistakes and teach the students errors, and this is the cause of the confusion and ignorance among the pretenders to knowledge today. They have started learning from one another or from themselves, without referring to the people of knowledge or learning from the people of knowledge. Yes. Therefore, it is not permissible for anyone to explain books unless he is proficient and a scholar. Yes.
