Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the anticipation of the Hour, is the negligence of scholars one of its signs?
The Shaykh : The negligence of scholars?
The questioner : Yes
The Shaykh : By Allah, we might also say that this is a squandering of trust, because the scholars have a covenant upon them from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to clarify the knowledge for the people and not to conceal it. So if they squander this and conceal it, there is no doubt that this is a squandering of trust.
