Using the Blackboard in Explaining Inheritance Law

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh mentioned that the Thargharani asked why he does not use better terminology once to help understand the issues so that understanding the issues becomes easier?

Answer:
Because we are not studying inheritance law; rather, we are studying jurisprudence. However, our passing through the book of inheritance law is merely a passing through. If we were studying inheritance law, we might need the blackboard. Although using the blackboard makes students lazy and accustoms them to laziness and to not using their talent. It is obligatory that they know this by their intuition, their minds, and their thoughts. The scholars did not use the blackboard except in schools only.
They used their thoughts, their minds, their skill, and their intelligence. Yes, but if you get accustomed to the blackboard or to the pen, then this affects the fortification of knowledge if you do not know except by pen and not by blackboard. So if you encounter an issue and you do not have it, you go and say, "Bring me a blackboard," or "Bring me an issue," or in the court, if you become a judge, you say, "Bring me a blackboard."
It is a matter that does not suit the heart. Accustom yourself to calculating by yourself, with your mind, and with your thought. Accustom yourself to this, and to memorization and precision. If someone asks you about an inheritance issue and you are walking, do you say, "I will go get a blackboard"? You must train yourself in this matter.
