Is seeking knowledge from recorded lessons sufficient?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If it is difficult to seek knowledge from the scholars, is it sufficient to listen to their recorded lessons on cassette tapes?
Answer:
It is not sufficient, but one benefits from them; one listens and benefits from them. However, to study under them and seek knowledge through them, that is not sufficient. One must have a teacher; one must be present with the teacher. The tapes are not sufficient. Yes.
