Islamic Online University which is run by Dr Bilal Philips

Q: I am a home schooling mother who really wants to learn as much as she can about Islam but due to my commitments I am not able to leave home to attend any lessons. I have recently come to know of a website called Islamic Online University which is run by Dr Bilal Philips which offers a range of Islamic courses. I would like to know if it will be permissible for me to study this way and through this institute as I am very worried about their aqeeda and if I will be learning the correct Islamic beliefs that I should have.

A: Dr Phillips subscribes to the Salafi beliefs and ways. The Salafi movement in many respects is not consistent with the beliefs and the actions of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa’at. We advise that you refrain from affiliating yourself with them.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
