Question:
This questioner asks about the best method for reading the books of the scholars?
Answer:
Reading alone is not sufficient; it is necessary that the reading be done under a scholar. First, you read it to yourself to grasp the concepts and identify what is difficult for you, then you read it to the scholar so he can explain and clarify it for you. As for mere reading and learning from books, this is a serious danger that may lead to misguidance and incorrect understanding. Therefore, relying on books alone is not sufficient; it is necessary to read under the scholars and receive knowledge from them. Reading books is only a means to assist in seeking knowledge from the scholars.
