Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If I start memorizing the foundational texts in seeking knowledge on my own, and then I attend the honorable scholars to seek knowledge, is this action correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct. It is obligatory for you to start memorizing and studying under the scholars. Nothing is memorized without being understood. As for mere memorization without understanding, it is of no benefit. Yes.
