A Student’s Affiliation with His Shaykh
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it prescribed for a student to affiliate himself with his shaykh, saying, “I sought knowledge from so-and-so” or “This is our shaykh”? He says: Is this a prescribed matter? For some of them attend only one lesson with a shaykh and then say, “He is my shaykh.”
Answer:
And your shaykh is only in that attendance, not in the rest of the lessons. Yes.
