The questioner : Can it be inferred from Ma'qil's action that concealing knowledge is permissible when one fears for his own safety?
The Shaykh : If he fears for his own safety, yes. However, it is not permissible to conceal it absolutely. For example, he may keep it hidden and not announce it publicly, but he may convey it to others.
