Is it permissible to consult the People of the Book, given your condition that the advisor be trustworthy?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said: We stated that the advisor must be trustworthy and possess sound judgment. And we said: Trustworthiness does not exist except through religion. Does this mean we should not consult anyone from the People of the Book, especially if he is known for wisdom, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): ? If you consult him regarding matters of religion, that is not permissible. As for matters of this world, he is trustworthy if he is trustworthy, and if he is not trustworthy, he is not to be consulted.
