O' who you believe beware of celebrity scholars
and know that scholarship is not determined by the amount of followers
but rather the accuracy to derive rulings from Quraan and Sunnah with
understanding of the pious predecessors. There are 5 main prerequisites
of being considered a scholar, there are many but lets mention the most
important fives!
2 - He should have knowledge of the issues of consensus (ijmaa' - Ijmaa' of sahabah, our pious predecessors).
3 - He should be well versed in the Arabic language. Imaam Shafi'i said all Muslims should learn Arabic, Quraan was revealed in Arabic and is language of the Muslims we should all strive to learn our language.
4 - He should have knowledge of Usool al-Fiqh (basic principles of Islamic jurisprudence), including analogy (Qiyaas), because Usool al-Fiqh is the foundation for deriving rulings. Many mistakes in Aqeedah come from wrong Qiyaas.
5 - He should have knowledge of what abrogates and what is abrogated (al-Naasikh wa’l-Mansookh). Wicked scholars love to quote abrogated evidence to justify deviance such as sufis who says "You to your way me to my way" Ali (ra) saw a man giving speech he asked does he know that which has been abrogated the man said "no." Ali (ra) said "you are destroyed and are seeking to destroy others" then he removed him from the masjid.
A
scholar has firm knowledge with Quraan and Sunnah and has mastered all
the subjects of Islam. An excellent example will be that of shaykhul
Islam Ibn Taymiyyah. If a person masters only one subject he is not an
Islamic scholar but rather a scholar of that particular subject. If a
person calls themselves a scholar or an authority of the religion and
calls for democracy he is not a scholar, If a person calls themselves a
scholar and calls for prayer (worshiping) to our noble Prophet (saws)
then he is not a scholar these are the wicked scholars and our Prophet
(saws) foretold us of them.
Abdullah bin Amr narrates that Prophet (saws) said: “Most of the hypocrites of my Ummah will be its Qurra’ (i.e. evil scholars).” [Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal and Shaykh Shu’aib Arna’ut classified it as ‘Hasan’]
The Prophet (saws) said: “There is something more I fear for my Ummah more than the Dajjal: Misguided scholars.” [Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal and Shaykh Shu’aib Arna’ut graded it as Sahih]
Narrated Abdullah bin Amr that: I heard the Prophet (saws) saying: “Allah will not deprive you of knowledge after he has given it to you, but it will be taken away through the death of the religious learned men with their knowledge. Then there will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions whereby they will mislead others and go astray.” [Bukhari]

Allah’s Messenger (saws) said: “The greatest fear that I have for my Ummah is regarding a hypocrite who is a good speaker.” [Musnad Ahmad bin Hanbal and Authenticated by Shaykh Shu’aib Arna’ut and Shaykh al-Albani]

Then there will remain ignorant people who, when consulted, will give verdicts according to their opinions whereby they will mislead others and go astray.” [Bukhari]
Also, authentic report is transmitted by Imaam Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi and at-Tabari on the authority of Adiy ibn Hatim at-Ta’i that: “The Prophet (saws) was reading this verse: ‘They make of their rabbis and their monks…lords besides Allah.’ He said: ‘they have not worshiped them.’ The
Prophet (saws) said: ‘Yes, indeed they did. They followed them when
they forbade them what was lawful and permitted them what was forbidden.
That is how they worshiped them.”
“Whoever is asked about knowledge (that he knows about) and hides it will be bridled on the Day of Judgment by a bridle of fire.” [Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi (who graded it hasan), Ibn Majah and authenticated by al-Hakim according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs]
“Allah’s Messenger (saws) came to us and we were nine people made up of five and four either of the two numbers representing Arabs and non-Arabs. He said, “Listen! Have you heard that there will be after me, some bad leaders? If anyone goes to them and, despite their falsehood and insincerity, vouches for their truth and, despite their tyranny, helps them over their oppression, then he does not belong to me and I am not his and he will not make it to my pond. And as for him, who does not go to them and does not aid them in their oppression and does not vouch their lies to be true, he is of me and I belong to him and he will come to me at the pond.” [Sunan at-Tirmidhi The Hadith authenticated by Shaykh al-Albani in Sahih Jami’ Tirmidhi and Sahih at-Targhib wat Tarhib and his grading of Sunan an-Nasa’i, Shaykh Shu’aib Arna’ut classified it as Sahih in his classification of Sahih ibn Hibban. Ibn Hibban also quotes it from the father of Abdullah bin Khabab, Classified as Hassan by Sh’uaib Arna’ut]
“Beware of the doors of the bad and unjust leaders for they have indeed become a source of trouble and humiliation.” [As-Sahihah, Hadith no. 1253]
Yusuf bin Asbat narrates that Sufyan Thawri said to him: “Whenever
you see an Islamic scholar entering into the presence of the unjust and
oppressive leaders, then know that he is a thief.” [Shu’ub al Imaan
of al-Baihaqi, authenticated by Ad-Dhahabi in Siyar A’lam Nubala Vol.
13 Page 586, and also authenticated by Salim Hilali in the book The
Manners of the Islamic Scholars and Student of knowledge on Page 14.
Similar is narrated in a Marfu’ narration from Abu Hurairah, but
al-Albani has graded it as weak]
Imaam Ibnul-Jawzi said in Talbis Iblis Page 121-122 that:
“And from the deceptions of Iblis upon the scholars is their mixing
with the confirmed unjust leaders and the confirmed oppressive kings,
their flattering them and failure to correct them when they are able to
do so. May be they make allowances for them where there is no allowance
for them, in order to attain some worldly benefit. So this produces
corruption from three angles: First, the leader is corrupted by that. He
will say: “If I were not upon what is correct, the scholar would
correct me. And how can I not be correct when he is eating from my
wealth!” Secondly, the common man, because he will say: “There is no
harm in this leader, nor in his wealth, nor in his actions, because such
and such scholar, does not criticize him.” Thirdly, the scholar
(himself) is corrupted by that. Because he corrupts his religion through
this practice and Iblis has deceived them into entering upon the
corrupt politicians and unjust leaders by saying to them, “You will just
enter to intercede for the benefit of a Muslim.”
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali said in his book, Sharh Hadithidh-Dhi’ban (i.e. the commentary on the Hadith about two hungry wolves):
“Many of the Salaf used to forbid entry upon the unjust and oppressive
leaders even for those who wanted to go to command them with good and to
forbid them from evil. From those who forbade this were Umar ibn
Abdul-Aziz, Ibn al-Mubarak, ath-Thawri and others.”
Imaam Abu Muhammad bin Hazm said when he advised the A'lim in his treatise Maratibul Ulum: “To be afflicted by associating with the unjust leader is to be afflicted by a great calamity and it is presenting oneself to a vile danger in which one’s religion and self will depart. The scholar is not to associate with him (i.e. the unjust leader) whatsoever as this will lead to ruin.” [Majma’ ar-Rasa’il Ibn Hazm al-Andalus, Vol. 4, Page 76]
“Whoever is asked about knowledge (that he knows about) and hides it will be bridled on the Day of Judgment by a bridle of fire.” [Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi (who graded it hasan), Ibn Majah and authenticated by al-Hakim according to the conditions of the two Shaykhs]
“Allah’s Messenger (saws) came to us and we were nine people made up of five and four either of the two numbers representing Arabs and non-Arabs. He said, “Listen! Have you heard that there will be after me, some bad leaders? If anyone goes to them and, despite their falsehood and insincerity, vouches for their truth and, despite their tyranny, helps them over their oppression, then he does not belong to me and I am not his and he will not make it to my pond. And as for him, who does not go to them and does not aid them in their oppression and does not vouch their lies to be true, he is of me and I belong to him and he will come to me at the pond.” [Sunan at-Tirmidhi The Hadith authenticated by Shaykh al-Albani in Sahih Jami’ Tirmidhi and Sahih at-Targhib wat Tarhib and his grading of Sunan an-Nasa’i, Shaykh Shu’aib Arna’ut classified it as Sahih in his classification of Sahih ibn Hibban. Ibn Hibban also quotes it from the father of Abdullah bin Khabab, Classified as Hassan by Sh’uaib Arna’ut]
