The Ruling on Striking for Discipline

Question:
The Shaykh said, may Allah reward you: If you are advising someone to start with a book of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), did he mention the parts for the listener, or the prepared ones, or the appropriate ones?

Answer:
Starting with books of fiqh is an easy matter, but what is required is the presence of a teacher who has the ability to explain the book. So if you find a teacher who has the ability to explain the book, start with whatever book you want. The issue is not about choosing the book; the issue is about finding a teacher who has the ability to explain this book, clarify it, and make its understanding easy for the student. The matter of the books is easy. Which book do you start with?
For example, al-Umdah, the text of al-Dalil, the text of al-Zad, or Ma Aqsar al-Mukhtasarat. All of these are fine; they are all acceptable, provided that there is a teacher who has the ability to clarify this book and its reasoning for the students. Yes.
