Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is your advice for students of knowledge who have a bad opinion of scholars because the scholars sometimes refrain from preferring one opinion over another?
Answer:
These are ignorant people; we do not hold them accountable because they are ignorant and do not know the status of the scholars due to their ignorance. The best thing to do with an ignorant person is to leave him alone and not pay attention to him.
