Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh! Is it necessary to first memorize the Qur'an before seeking knowledge, or should we combine both from the beginning?
Answer:
The foundation is memorizing the Qur'an. One should memorize the Qur'an from a young age, and then when he grows up and it becomes easy for him, he seeks knowledge. But the foundation is memorizing the Noble Qur'an, yes.
