Advice for the beginner student of knowledge in the study of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what do you advise the beginner student of knowledge to study in fiqh?
Answer:
There are many books on fiqh, but he must choose the teacher. If he finds a jurist (faqih) from whom he can receive fiqh, then any book he reads from the books of fiqh under his guidance will contain what is needed and will be sufficient. So the issue is not about the existence of books, but about the existence of a competent teacher from whom you benefit. You look for the teacher first. Once you find the teacher, the books are available and present; whichever one you read, you will obtain what is required.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
