Question:
This questioner is also from France. He says: What is the minimum that a student of knowledge must memorize in each of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), hadith, and fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence)?
Answer:
In every discipline, one memorizes a summary. In every discipline—fiqh, hadith, grammar, inheritance, terminology, principles, or tafsir (Qur'anic exegesis)—one must obtain a summary. Memorization alone is not sufficient; it is obligatory for him to memorize it under one of the scholars so that he can explain it to him, clarify it for him, and make it clear to him. Thus, he combines memorization and understanding through the people of knowledge. Yes.
