Question:
What is the correct method for gradual progress in seeking knowledge?
Answer:
The correct path, as we told you, is that the entry point to seeking knowledge is to study under scholars, receiving knowledge from them either in formal schools or in the shaykhs' circles in the mosques. This is similar, because this knowledge is a transmission, a transmission from the scholars; you transmit the scholar's knowledge, conveying it, and he gives it to you, carrying it to you. This knowledge does not reach you without a trustworthy chain from the people of knowledge, so you must choose a trustworthy scholar or teacher to study with regarding the branches of knowledge you desire.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
