Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on a student of knowledge entering websites that mention matters of disagreement and difference among the scholars?
Answer:
He does not enter them, because they confuse him and cause some hesitation in him. So he does not look at them; he restricts himself to reading books, attending the gatherings of the people of knowledge, and asking and answering with the people of knowledge. This is how he learns his creed and the matters of his religion. He does not take his religion from websites or from these things he mentioned. These contain misguidance, many invalid statements, a mixture of things, and people who enter them who are suspicious. He does not take these as a means of learning. Yes. And he does not take his religion from websites. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
