Brother, with all due respect - are you well versed in the Islamic sciences to the extent you can discern subtle differences in interpretation?

There is a good reason why scholars nowadays advise strongly against taking knowledge in any form from ghayr muqallideen. The statements they make, the issues they comment on, and the interpretations they give to the seerah, sunnah, and shariah are often enough wrong in such a subtle way that a person who is not well versed in the Islamic sciences will not realize it. But those subtle interpretations have a deep effect, which leads one to confusion, creating a distance between oneself and authentic Ulema, etc ..

If you do not have formal training, humble yourself and refrain from his lectures. Find an authentic source of knowledge, and hold fast to it. Convincing yourself that you have a strong enough grasp to discern subtle interpretations and statements is actually one's pride taking over their mind.

If you do have training, ignore whatever I have posted - and get your title changed .

No bro, im just a laymen. I've taken into consideration what you've said here, and I think you might be right. I'll see if I have the will power to delete these lectures from my phone

As for his seerah lectures, I have full intention to listen to them, as it has no fiqh or aqeedah involved. A sister on this thread also said it would be safe to listen to them. Similarly, a Hanafi brother here by the name of al-zayn once posted that he found Yasir Qadhi's seerah lectures very beneficial (Which became my initial inspiration to listen to them). So I dont think there's a danger in this.

As for matters of fiqh and aqeedah, I'll try my best to avoid him in this area.

[Edit: I've humbled myself and have deleted the lectures. There you have it.
