The practice of the Salaf in removing doubts by asking the scholars.
He said: The practice of the Salaf in removing doubts by asking the scholars.
Not by asking Google, not that an individual searches the websites when he has doubts. No! If you were able to be safe from doubts it wouldn’t have intruded in your heart! So this individual is unable to remove it. Rather, the one that is able to remove it is the one who inherited from the Prophet ﷺ in explaining the religion. You should go back to a scholar and put forth this doubt to him in order for him to remove it for you. Don’t go back to other than him because if you went back to other than him, the doubt will increase and it will be established your heart.
Afterwards, he said:
The scholars will answer it with what will remove the doubt from him. And this is because they only ascribe the statement to the Messenger ﷺ
How will the scholar remove the doubt? With proofs, not with their opinions, or with desires, or with what the people of the land were brought up upon. No! Rather these doubts are removed with proofs. So none has the ability to remove doubts unless he has with him an army of proofs. If he doesn’t have an army of proofs, he will be from the humiliated. So the strong from the scholars is the one who is strengthened by an army of proofs from the Statements of Allah and the statements of His Messenger ﷺ. If a doubt takes over the heart of the creation, then he has the weapons that he can repel these doubts from himself and the Muslims. So when a doubt befalls the slave, then he is commanded to ask a firmly grounded scholar about it. And the firmly grounded scholar is commanded to repel these doubts with the Statement of Allah and the statement of His Messenger ﷺ.
