0:00 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
0:08 Good intentions do not absolve the pseudo-scholar youth of responsibility.
0:13 Good intentions do not exempt the pseudo-scholar youth from accountability.
0:19 For errors in issuing legal rulings are not a matter of intentions.
0:23 Rather, they concern speaking about Allah without knowledge and leading people astray.
0:28 In this lies a severe warning and certain sin.
0:32 Allah the Exalted says:
0:34 “(O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked.” (17:36)
0:37 “(O man), follow not that whereof thou hast no knowledge. Lo! the hearing and the sight and the heart - of each of these it will be asked.” (17:36)
0:44 And the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
0:48 "Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it away from people,
0:52 but He takes it away by taking away the scholars,
0:55 until, when no scholar remains,
0:58 people will take ignorant leaders as their guides.
1:01 They will be asked questions and will issue rulings without knowledge,
1:04 so they will go astray and lead others astray."
1:07 Narrated by al-Bukhari.
1:09 And he, peace be upon him, also said:
1:13 "Among the signs of the Hour
1:15 is that knowledge will be sought from the young (the unqualified)."
1:18 Narrated by Ibn al-Mubarak in al-Zuhd.
1:21 And it was authenticated by al-Albani.
1:24 A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.
