The word love is used differently depending on the context. Loving your spouse is different to loving your son or loving your parents.

Therefore, when I hear someone saying that we love Sheikh Al Albani or Sheikh Ibn Othaimeen, this is normal as this love is not based on physical attraction.

But when a woman tells a Sheikh who is young and can be tempted, it is not permissible to say that to him even if the woman means good by it. One doesn’t know what is the impact on the Sheikh as he is a man like any other.

I hope this answers your questions.

Would like to know if it is allowed to have the “love..ish” feeling of a certain scholar??
