Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Do you advise a student of knowledge to study various books of knowledge from one shaykh, or to have multiple shaykhs?
Answer:
It depends on the specialization. If Allah grants him success with a shaykh who has many sciences and many specializations, there is no harm in limiting himself to him. But if he finds a scholar in grammar, a scholar in jurisprudence, and a scholar in exegesis, he should study from several scholars, each in his area of specialization. Yes.
