Is it permissible to study the sciences of the machine from the people of innovation?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh, my last question: Is it permissible to take the science of grammar and the terminology of hadith, or similar subjects, from the people of innovation? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : That is to say, if a man is an innovator who studies grammar and hadith, and the terminology of hadith, and he has good knowledge, is it permissible for me to receive this knowledge from him?
And the answer is: If you are safe from his inserting poison into your food, there is nothing wrong with it. Likewise, if you are safe from him being deluded by himself and saying, "So-and-so is seeking knowledge from me in order to raise his status in society," there is nothing wrong with it.
However, if you fear that your attendance at his class will be a cause for him to seize this opportunity, which would serve as promotion for him, then do not attend his class. Because this harms him and people are deluded by him. Based on this, look at the public benefit and the harm. And Muhammad appears to be tired and said the lesson is over, but the lesson has not ended yet.
