Question:
“Oh virtuous Shaykh, a questioner asks the following question and he says: May Allah be good to you! In our country there are no scholars. May we – with our questions regarding fiqh and other matters – return back to the students of knowledge? Please advise us, may you be rewarded.”
Answer by Shaykh Saalih bin Sa’d as-Suhaymee, may Allah preserve him:
“If there are students of knowledge present who follow the manhaj of the pious predecessors, then there is nothing wrong with returning back to themxregarding the ‘normal’ matters, for which no detailed research is required.x(This) with the condition that they follow the manhaj of Ahlus-Sunnah. And as with regards to the serious matters and issues regarding the Ummah and its future,xthen for these one needs to return back to the major scholars.
Because that which has harmed the Muslim youth these last years,xis nothing other than that they have taken the small (students of knowledge) as muftees (scholars who issue Islamic verdicts).xAnd it might even be that some of them are in reality ignorant with regards to the matters of the Religion which are required to know. Therefore,xthey should not be asked about matters like al-Jihaad, or detailed matters where (certain) principles are applied, which deal with the future of the Ummah and the future of the Muslims and some other matters whereby the explanation of the major scholars is required.
Many God-fearing (pious) scholars refrain from these types of questions, while these (students of knowledge) put themselves forward to answer the questions – we seek refuge with Allah – like if he plucks it out of the sea!xHe answers according to what is best for him.xThis is why you will see that he will rule one day with the permissibility of celebrating birthdays, and one day with the permissibility of imitating the Christians and celebrating your and your wife’s birthdays. And one day he will rule with the permissibility of uncovering the face, and another day he will rule with the permissibility of going out to the places of fitnah under the guise of al-Jihaad, and another day he will rule with permissibility of shaving the beards, and another day he will rule with the permissibility of listening to music and like this.xAnd many of the devious fataawa (verdicts) are only caused by returning back to these ignoramuses.
Until tomorrow’s lecture if Allah wills. I place you in the trust of Allah. And may Allah send salutations, peace and blessings upon Muhammad and his family…
