Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Some people say that it is permissible to study under the people of innovation, citing the fact that Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah had more of his teachers among them who were innovators.
Answer:
How do you know? How do you know that his teachers were innovators? This is speaking ill of the scholars. No, it is not permissible to study under the people of innovation, because one is influenced by them. There are people of the Sunnah, praise be to Allah. Even if you travel to them, do not learn from the people of innovation or the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
