Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it not possible to say that one can benefit from the science of logic?
Answer:
No, one does not benefit from the science of logic, no. One benefits from the Book and the Sunnah, but some scholars study it solely in order to refute them, not in order to use it as evidence.
So the one who studies it in order to know their error and refute them, such as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim, studied it not in order to rely on it, but in order to refute them and demonstrate the corruption of what they are upon, because you cannot refute them if you do not know their doubts or their principles.
So the one who has this intention has no harm in it; the one who studies it to refute them has no harm in it. Yes.
