The ruling on listening to tapes versus attending lessons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A questioner asks: Does listening to tapes suffice in place of attending lessons with the scholars?
Answer:
Listening to a tape does not suffice in place of attending the lectures. While there is benefit in it, it is not sufficient. Attending in front of the teacher and the lecturer, and seeing them, is more conducive to benefiting, because when you see the speaker, your attention to him is greater than when listening to a tape.
Also, you participate in the reward that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) promised for attending gatherings of knowledge.Sahih Muslim 2699a This is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said on this matter. So you obtain the reward of attendance in addition to the knowledge you benefit from, whereas with the tape, you lose the reward of attendance. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you
