Whom Should Knowledge be Taken From? - Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid

During a recent lecture for Tower Hamlets Dawah, a series of questions where addressed by Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) and were posted recently on their SoundCloud account.  One of them was the following:

What is your advice for those who do not know from whom to take knowledge?
 
And they do not know who are the people of knowledge, and they take knowledge from possibly some of the Mumayyiʿah(1). Such as this masjid in Brixton
 
Yet they come to the lessons and how do we advise people who go to their lessons?

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave the following answer:
Note: … The Mumayyiʿah—those who water down the methodology, are somewhat squeamish and easily unsettled—have aversion in these affairs, especially when someone formerly known for Sunnah opposes or deserts the people of the Sunnah, chooses error and misguidance and is refuted with evidence. [Source]

Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]
