Seeking knowledge through telephone calls to scholars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to seek knowledge by calling the scholars of the Sunnah on the phone, or is it necessary to sit with them in their lessons and lectures?
Answer:
Calling for the sake of asking questions and seeking fatwas is fine, but calling to learn is not; that is not what is suitable or sufficient. One must go to the scholars, sit with them, listen to their lessons, and ask them directly. That is seeking knowledge. Yes.
