Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is abridging books reserved only for scholars, or may a student of knowledge abridge a book for himself?
Answer:
It is not good to choose [what to abridge]. One who is not established in knowledge does not choose well. He must be established in knowledge and able to choose well from the book.
