The Calamity of Pretenders to Islamic Knowledge
The shaikh, Dr. ʿAbdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Al-Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥazm said:
There’s no calamity more harmful upon the sciences [of Islam] and those who possess [knowledge] of them than those who pretend to have that [knowledge] while they’re not [in fact] among those who [truly] possess [it], for indeed, they don’t have knowledge they think they [do], and they bring about destruction while they think they’re fixing [things].
Al-Akhlāq wa-l-Siyar, p. 91.

[ آفةُ الدُّخَلاء على العِلْمِ]
قال الحافظُ ابنُ حزمٍ:
"لا آفةَ أضرّ على العُلُومِ وأهلِها مِنَ الدُّخَلاءِ فيها؛ وهُم مِنْ غيرِ أهلِهَا، فإنّهُم:
يَجهلُونَ ويَظنُّونَ أنّهم يَعلمُون، ويُفسِدُونَ ويُقدِّرونَ أنّهم يُصْلِحُون"
