Relying on a scholar of Deen

· 20 Safar 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What are the sources in deen which can be relied upon? If something was done by a righteous scholar which is not proved by sunnah or Sahaabah or fiqh, will it be part of deen?

Answer

Rather than condemning him see if you can speak to the scholar or those that know him. He may have some reason and proof.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
