Take From Him His Knowledge, But Leave Alone His Actions


Question :

What is your opinion regarding some who invite to Allâh, outwardly displaying sincerity in intention and deed, but who perpetrate some acts of disobedience and sin? Should this stop us from benefiting from their knowledge and what they are inviting to?


Answer:

It is not a requisite for a teacher or caller to be perfect in order for us to listen to him, rather benefit can be derived from him even if he has some deficiencies in his character.

This, however, should not prevent us from advising him and instructing him to what is good with gentle words and in a good manner. The teacher may be lazy about praying in congregation, so he must be advised. He might be someone who lets his garment fall below the ankles, so he must be advised. He might shave his beard and so he must be advised, for the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said:
"Trim your moustaches and let your beards grow, and be different from the idolators."
