What is the optimal methodology for seeking knowledge?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the correct method of seeking? Does the student take one discipline and study it until he finishes, or does he take several disciplines?
Answer:
The correct method is that he takes several disciplines, little by little. He takes some grammar, he takes some jurisprudence, he takes some hadith terminology, he takes some principles of jurisprudence. Every day a lesson, every day a lesson from this and that, because the sciences help one another. So if he takes them all, little by little, some of them will help the others. As for restricting himself to one discipline, this is not the correct method, because one discipline does not stand independent of the other disciplines, nor does it do without them. Yes.
