Innovation and Innovators
Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains that books of the people of Sunnah are available, and one must search for them. Relying on innovators or their books is forbidden, as they are like deadly poison, so do not depend on them for knowledge.

Scholars and Students of Knowledge
Shaykh Muqbil explains that a detailed scholarly criticism is sufficient, even if only one scholar has refuted an innovator. Truth depends on evidence, not on consensus, and a trustworthy scholar’s refutation must be accepted.
Scholars and Students of Knowledge
