Mr Ghanim,

I do see what you are saying. The Scholars who addressed that Fatwa are from
the Kibaar Ulema. They are the Ahl Ilm of Ahl Sunnah wal Jamaah. So I do not
hesitate from taking from them. Some scholars are from the deviate sects so
it is very important for one know who the true scholars are. The so called
scholars I stay away from are the ones that act(pretend to) as an
intermediary between a person and Allah and unfortunately we have some of
those back home.

As far as seeking knowledge goes, it is obligatory for every Muslim to seek
knowledge of this deen.

(Narrated From Awn Ibn Abdullah who said: "I said to Umar ibn Abdul Azeez it
is stated:

"If you are able, be a scholar and if you cannot be a scholar then be a
student of knowledge and if you cannot be a student then love the students,
and if you cannot love them then do not hate them.”

So he said: “Subhanallah Allah has made a way out for him (ie the one who
said it)
