The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We are among the visiting students, and we love you for the sake of Allah, and we ask Allah to preserve you and grant you health and well-being. His question is: What is your advice to some of the visiting brothers who do not strive to attend the scholars' lectures, but limit themselves to the lectures at the university, since in our land there are many religious innovations (bid'ah) and matters that only Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows? So what is your advice?
The Shaykh:
If they focus on their university lectures and master them, that is a great good. But adding to that the attendance of the shaykhs' lectures is an increase in good. People's circumstances differ; perhaps they do not have the ability to attend the shaykhs' lectures, but rather they devote themselves to the regular university lectures. People differ in this. Yes.
The presenter:
But if it is possible to combine the benefit.
The Shaykh:
I am sure that this is good. Otherwise, the era.
The presenter:
What happened? The university lectures.
The Shaykh:
The university. You asked, ah. That is the original. Yes.
