Regarding debating:
0:11
The priority is to seek debate with scholars,
0:14
And to abandon debating the ignorant,
0:17
Because such debates are not founded upon principles to which one can return in times of disagreement;
0:21
Rather, they are built upon mere caprice,
0:24
Which only increases people in ignorance and confusion.
0:27
Often, the ignorant person may overcome his opponent,
0:29
Silencing him through stubbornness rather than the strength of his argument.
0:33
Imam al-Shafi'i spoke the truth when he said:
0:37
"I debated a scholar and overcame him,
0:39
But a fool debated me and overcame me."
