What is the status of loving religious scholars and sheikhs and wishing to emulate their character?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Loving the people of faith is part of faith. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A person will be with those whom he loves," and "Those who love each other for My glory will have pulpits of light, envied by the Prophets and martyrs." One of the signs of true love is following the beloved. So, whoever loves Allah must follow the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and whoever loves the righteous must follow in their footsteps and emulate them.
