The Gradual Method for Beginners in Seeking Islamic Jurisprudence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the method followed in the gradual pursuit of Islamic jurisprudence for beginners?

Answer:
Yes. The method followed in the gradual pursuit of knowledge is that one begins with the concise texts (mukhtasarat). One does not limit oneself to a concise text in a single discipline, because knowledge is interconnected. One takes a concise text in Islamic jurisprudence, a concise text in hadith, a concise text in Qur'anic exegesis, a concise text in the principles of jurisprudence, a concise text in grammar, and in the Arabic language. One takes these concise texts side by side, and each concise text is taken from a specialist in that field: grammar from a grammarian, Islamic jurisprudence from a jurist, the principles of jurisprudence from a scholar of principles, and so on. One takes knowledge from its people, each discipline from its specialists.
In this way, the pursuit of knowledge is achieved, and one progresses step by step, beginning with the concise texts in the various disciplines, then the intermediate books, then the extensive works, progressing step by step. Yes.
