Is it better for a student of knowledge to limit himself to one shaykh?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is it better to limit one’s seeking of knowledge to one shaykh or scholar, or is it permissible to seek knowledge from more than one scholar?

Answer:
This depends on one’s ability. If you are able to take different sciences from more than one scholar—this one for grammar, this one for inheritance law, this one for jurisprudence, this one for hadith, and this one for tafsir—that is a good thing, if you have the capacity for it. And if one teacher has all these sciences, there is no harm in taking them from him. The important thing is that you learn these sciences, whether from one person or from several. Yes.
