Question:
The questioner says: What is the advice for the youth whose habit is to focus on the disagreements among the scholars and to follow their mistakes? What is your advice for these people?
Answer:
This is a form of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). It is obligatory for the people, and especially for the youth, to have trust in the scholars, to learn from them, to sit in their circles, and to take knowledge from them. This is a plot by the enemies to separate the scholars from the youth. It is a plot by the hypocrites and those with ill intentions, in order to separate the youth of the Ummah from the scholars of the Ummah. It is obligatory that the youth love the people of knowledge and follow their example, learning from them and asking them questions. This is what is obligatory.
