Don't Say About Islam Without Knowledge

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

You may find people who will say: This is right in Islam or this is wrong in Islam or they said, you should do this this and you shouldn't do this They speak as if they know Islam without the knowledge and without evidence. If someone asks something about Islam and you don't know, say, "I don't know." There is nothing wrong if you say "I don't know". It doesn't make you look stupid. Ask him to consult a scholar. 
 
Imam Malik ibn Anas was one of the most respected scholars of fiqh ever lived Once a mam came to h from far away lamd and asked him 48 questions. He answered to 16 of them and for the rest, he replied "I don't know لا ادري "
 
To say a lie against Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala or the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is a crime.  Don't make the same mistake as the Children of Israel as recorded in the Quran,

وَقَالُوا۟ لَن تَمَسَّنَا ٱلنَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَةً ۚ قُلْ أَتَّخَذْتُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَهْدًا فَلَن يُخْلِفَ ٱللَّهُ عَهْدَهُۥٓ ۖ أَمْ تَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٨٠ بَلَىٰ مَن كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَـٰطَتْ بِهِۦ خَطِيٓـَٔتُهُۥ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ ﴿٨١

And they say, "Never will the Fire touch us, except for a few days." Say, "Have you taken a covenant with Allah? For Allah will never break His covenant. Or do you say about Allah that which you do not know?" (80) Yes, whoever earns evil and his sin has encompassed him - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. (81) 

[Quran, Al Baqarah 2:80-81]

May Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge and good deeds. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
