Question:
What is your opinion of those who say, "Do not attend the gatherings of so-and-so among the scholars?" They justify this by saying that the people who attend his lessons have incorrect thinking.
Answer:
Because the people who attend his lessons have incorrect thinking. Their thinking. Yes. And we ask that a word be directed to the youth regarding unity and not splitting up. As long as their thinking is incorrect, they must attend the gatherings of scholars who correct their thinking and make them aware of their error. They are in need of this. How can one warn them when their thinking is incorrect? This is deceiving them. I say that he should encourage them to attend the gatherings of scholars and know the truth. He is not saying, "Do not sit with so-and-so because your thinking is not correct," which would mean they remain in error. This speech is not permissible. We advise the youth to fear Allah the Exalted and Majestic, to be eager to seek knowledge, and to abandon personal desires and the defense of so-and-so and so-and-so. The defense is for the truth, not for individuals. It is not for individuals. The defense is for the truth, and returning to the truth is better than persisting in falsehood.
They should reject partisanship, and they should reject blind following, and they should reject personal desires, and their goal should be the truth. The truth is the believer's lost property; wherever he finds it, he takes it.
