Seeking knowledge from one whose creed is deviant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I am in a country where there are no scholars who care about creed, and some of their scholars may, may have deviation in the matters of belief. So he asks: Is it permissible for me to seek knowledge from them in the Arabic language?
Answer:
My brother, go to the countries where there are scholars who are upon the truth and upright, and leave those who have confusion and doubts. Praise be to Allah, travel is now easy, means of transport are available, and countries are close to one another. So go to the countries where you find among the scholars of knowledge one who benefits you and clarifies things for you. Yes.
This is better than migration for the sake of seeking knowledge. Allah the Exalted says:[At-Tawbah 9:122]. Be of the type who go out, learn the good, and return to spread it in their lands. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

For there should separate from every division of them a group [remaining] to obtain understanding in the religion and warn their people when they return to them that they might be cautious.
فَلَوْلَا نَفَرَ مِن كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَائِفَةٌ لِّيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَلِيُنذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذَا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَThe presenter:
