What is your advice for one who is preoccupied with purification and neglects education?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Ali Hasan: In the context of the saying of Isa (peace be upon him) Sahih Ibn Hibban 47:210, we say that the callers to the Sunnah and its people, led by our Shaykh (may Allah preserve him), have made blessed progress in the matter of purification, whether it concerns hadith, creed, or otherwise. But regarding education, what is your advice and guidance for your sons, among whom a considerable number may have neglected education due to their preoccupation with purification? May Allah reward you with good?
The Shaykh : We always say that it is not permissible to separate purification from education, just as it is not permissible to separate knowledge from action; otherwise, the knowledge becomes an argument against its owner if it is not accompanied by action. So if there are people, whether from among us or from others whom this includes.
One of you sees the speck in his brother's eye and forgets the beam in his own eye
يرى أحدكم القذاة في عين أخيه وينسى الجذع في عينهThe Shaykh : We always say that it is not permissible to separate purification from education, just as it is not permissible to separate knowledge from action; otherwise, the knowledge becomes an argument against its owner if it is not accompanied by action. So if there are people, whether from among us or from others whom this includes.
