Shaykh Abdullah al-Ghudayan explains that knowledge must be taken from qualified scholars. A woman who learns only from translated books and tapes without proper guidance should not teach others. Teaching without correct understanding can lead to mistakes and burden her with others’ sins.

Shaykh al-Madkhali explains that relying on a few scholars in refutation is not harmful. The true criterion is adherence to the Sunnah, knowledge, and piety. Only a few qualified experts are trusted in al-jarḥ wa al-taʿdīl, just like in early generations.
