The questioner : ... ؟
The Shaykh : Studying under them, may Allah reward you, is not advisable. One should not study under the people of innovation in general, because studying under them, even in matters other than creed, leads to them taking pride in themselves and being pleased with themselves, and to people being deceived by frequenting them, thinking that they are upon the truth. Yes, if a person is compelled and finds no one else, let him look into the matter. If they try to mislead him, let him stay away from them.
