In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah, The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Al-Allamah Salih Al-Fawzan, may Allah preserve him, was asked: “When we give advice to some of those who educate and nurture the youth against the evil scholars, they say: ‘take the good they have with them and abandon their mistakes’. Is this correct?”

Answer: And all praise and thanks is due to Allah, there are scholars of the Sunnah and uprightness. Allah, Glorified be He, free from all imperfections, has not made it that you have a need of the evil scholars and the books of misguidance, while we have authentic books. Therefore, we adhere to these matters, neither go to the scholars of misguidance nor the Mubtadi’ah, nor to the books that are mixed (with falsehood). And all praise and thanks is due to Allaah, we have pure and good books, and scholars, thus, we adhere to the scholars and the authentic books. [Al-Ijaabaat Al- Muhimmah 1/144-145]
