   Salams,

I have a question. What denotes a scholar? DO they get formal training? ANd why is it that often they do not agree with eachother's views?

I really am trying to understand these things because many brothers and sisters debate and yet do not agree amongst themselves..depending on which scholar they have listened to. Are all scholars trustworthy? I have been kept very sheltered away from these things.I was never allowed to attend anything when I was married.

	Assalamu Alaikum sister Martha, Your question is valid, and I will move it to the General Islamic Matter; the thread is About Islamic Scholarship. I may also take part in that thread later, insha Allah. Peace Edited by peacemaker - 08 February 2010 at 11:24am

	One who has reached the level of mujtahid, and is recognized as such by his peers, in other words, known as a scholar by other scholars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soCjHHevSN4&feature=related
