Only the Arrogant Don’t Consult
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
No matter how high his level, how high he has surpassed others in his ability to form sound opinions, a specialist cannot dispense with the need to consult others and exchange views.
So a scholar cannot dispense with his contemporaries; a doctor cannot dispense with his colleagues. Rather, [where there is] an exchange of views and a cross-fertilization of ideas is where the right answers are expected to be, where reaching targets is most likely.
No one thinks he can dispense with [doing] that other than an arrogant person who has deceived himself, whom the devil has sent astray.
لا يستغني المتخصص مهما علت رتبته، أو تفوق في اجتهاده عن التشاور والتباحث.
فالعالم لا يستغني عن أقرانه، والطبيب لا يستغني عن زملائه، بل لا زال التباحث وتلاقح الأفكار مظنة للصواب، والوصول للهدف المرجو.
ولا يستغني عن ذلك إلا المتكبر الذي غرته نفسه، وأضله شيطانه.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) January 2, 2021
