Title

Studying by an Aalim

Question

If there is an authentic degree (sanad) of an alim which clearly deifnes that there is a chain of teachers B/w him and Hazoor (pbuh) then y there is contradiction in believing him the right resourse of gaining deen?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful  

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

If there is an Allah fearing Alim who has the expertise of teaching the true and correct Deen which he has studied from reliable and authentic teachers, then by all means one may study under him.

The issue of contradiction in your mail is unclear. Kindly elaborate.

And Allah knows best
