Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on studying the science of logic to understand the terminology of the scholars in their books, especially the terminology of the scholars of usul al-fiqh (the principles of jurisprudence)?
Answer:
If a person is able to master the correct knowledge and become well-versed in it, there is nothing wrong with him looking at what the others have in the way of doubts and errors, in order to clarify them. But as long as he has not mastered the knowledge, he should not enter into these matters so that he is not affected by them. Yes.
