Question:
What is the correct method for gradual progress in seeking knowledge?
Answer:
We told you that the correct path is that the entry point to seeking knowledge is to study under scholars, receiving knowledge from scholars, either in formal schools or in the circles of shaykhs in the mosques. This is similar, because knowledge is a transmission, a transmission from scholars. You transmit the scholar's knowledge, conveying it, and he gives it to you, carrying it to you. This knowledge is not taken directly from the people of knowledge without an intermediary. Therefore, you must choose a trustworthy scholar or teacher and study with him whatever branches of knowledge you wish.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
