How to Recognize the Callers to Misguidance | Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān




The Questioner:

The following question is from the student ‘Alī Jābir who thanks your eminence and says how do we know the callers to misguidance in this time who incite unrest and turmoil; particularly those who do so through social media?

Shaykh āli al-Fawzān:

“First of all, one must know where did they study and from where did they take knowledge? This is the first thing.

Secondly, you must know the methodology which they traverse upon.

Who they imitate? Whose example do they follow? Do they follow the example of the Imāms of Islām and the scholars of Islām or do they follow other than them?

So there must be a distinction made between these people and other than them by knowing from where did they take knowledge, who did they study with and who did they develop  under? So that their origin, methodology and history can be known.”
