The Ruling on Studying Logic and the Logical Introduction
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I am a student at the College of Sharia, and it is obligatory for me to study logic through the logical introduction. Should I abandon the exam and the study for its sake?
Answer:
No, study what is required. Study logic and study the logical introduction, but do not rely on it. It is merely for the sake of being informed. Not everything a person studies or reads does he believe. You study the doctrine of the Mu'tazilah, the doctrine of the Jahmiyyah, and the doctrine of the Asha'irah in order to warn against them and to know their falsity. So studying is one thing, and belief is another. Your studying things and knowing their truth and falsehood is permissible. However, in matters of belief, you do not believe in anything but the truth. Yes.
