Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for me to seek knowledge from a man who received his knowledge from the books and tapes of the rabbani scholars? No.
Answer:
He is not a scholar; he is merely a pretender to knowledge. As a rule, he misunderstands, and knowledge is not taken from him. Knowledge is like lineage: from so-and-so, from so-and-so, from so-and-so. This knowledge is religion, so look to whom you are taking your religion.
