What is the ruling on one who says: "Taking sheikhs as a means to acquire knowledge does not mean preferring them over the Lawgiver, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him," and what is the ruling on one who says: "Is there any lawgiver other than the Prophet, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him?"
