Continuation of the Categories of Scholars

The Shaykh : Likewise, in matters of sales, matters of insurance, and matters of riba (usury or interest), many scholars, or some scholars—I seek forgiveness from Allah—some scholars, when they see people leaning toward something, go and declare it permissible, even if they know, or it is most likely in their opinion, that the Shari'ah has forbidden it. Why? Because he is a scholar of the ummah (the Muslim community) and he is afraid.
The third category of scholars is the scholar of the religion who seeks to revive the religion of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), whether people are pleased or displeased. He is the best of them, and indeed, he has superiority over the others. This one does not fear the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah. He clarifies the truth and acts upon the truth, whether people are pleased or angry, whether they object or remain silent, because he seeks to revive the religion of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, we say that this man is the one who feared Allah and prioritized the fear of Allah over the fear of people.
We mentioned worship first, from the oneness of worship, the oneness in fear and turning back to Allah.
