Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What do you advise, O Shaykh, for a beginner student of knowledge?
Answer:
We advise him to seek knowledge from the shaykhs, not from those who are not recognized shaykhs. He should seek knowledge from the shaykhs. Praise be to Allah, the schools are now open, and in them one learns both religion and worldly affairs. The schools, institutes, colleges, and universities are open for learning religion and worldly affairs. Likewise, the shaykhs in the mosques teach and sit with people. So he should seek knowledge from the teachers, either in the schools or in the mosques, as mentioned in the word and the introduction. He should not seek knowledge from himself, or from a book, or from ignorant people and pretenders to knowledge. He should not seek knowledge from the people of knowledge. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
