Knowledge is of Two Branches

Question :

If this is even a Hadith, to what degree is it authentic: "Knowledge is of two branches the knowledge of bodies and the knowledge of religions." And what do you say to someone who disparages religious, Islamic knowledge, considering it to be below worldly knowledge?

Answer:

There is no basis for the Hadith you mentioned, for knowledge is one, and it embraces the welfare of human beings, their bodies, their religions, their wealth -in the Shari'ah, nothing is left void of a ruling.

Respecting your second question, a person who disparages Islamic knowledge is a Zindiq (heretic), and he must repent or otherwise he is to be killed.
