Question:
This questioner asks and says: Honorable Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan, what is the ruling on using educational tools, such as video, to teach Islamic legal subjects like fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis), fara'id (the law of inheritance shares), and other Islamic legal subjects?
Answer:
Knowledge must be received from scholars. One must be present in their company, whether they are in schools, institutes, and colleges, or in the circles of dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) in the mosques. One must be present in their company, receive knowledge from them, and ask them about what is difficult. However, if one looks at the media and finds something of knowledge in it, he benefits from it. But to limit oneself to that and consider it the seeking of knowledge? No. Yes.
