The Ruling on Not Reading Scholarly Books and Forgetting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. Muhammad from Morocco has two questions. His first question is: Does one commit a sin if he has many scholarly books but reads only a little from them?
The Shaykh:
Or is reading them obligatory? It is not obligatory. If he has books that he needs, or that others need, and he allows them to look at them, then there is good in that for him and for others. Yes.
The questioner:
His second question is: What is your advice to one who memorized the Noble Qur'an but neglected reviewing it?
The Shaykh:
This is a loss; it is a loss for him. He must review the Noble Qur'an again. Yes.
The questioner:
But is there a warning for one who memorized the Qur'an and then forgot it?
The Shaykh:
No, this is a loss, a loss.
