About This Book

Interaction with the Scholars explains who the scholars of Islam are and how Muslims should relate to them. The book opens by defining "those in authority" and the categories of scholars, then moves through five chapters on the description of a scholar, their virtues, the etiquette to observe with them, and their rights.

The final chapter addresses the harm that results when those rights are neglected, and an epilogue encourages Muslims to hold firmly to the scholars.
