Referring to Salafis for acquiring knowledge

· 1 Jumada II 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

What is the ruling on a person of the Hanafi Maslak taking knowledge or rulings from people such as 'Sheik Assim Al-Hakeem' who is a Salafi?

Answer

Referring to salafis who do not follow any mazhab is not the correct thing and this will lead to confusion coming about in one's deen.

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