Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: There are people who put themselves forward to speak on current events, whether recent or distant, who are not among the scholars. Is this considered something that causes division?
Answer:
We do not know about his speech, and it is not permissible for anyone other than the scholars to speak on current events. (And when a matter of safety or fear comes to them, they spread it about) These are the current events. (And if only they had referred it to the Messenger) One refers this to the Sunnah of the Messenger, to the scholars, and to the people of opinion among the rulers, the politicians and the people of opinion among the rulers, along with the scholars of the Shari'ah. Current events are referred to them so they may look into them. Yes.
