Learning the chapters of inheritance through reading alone, without a shaykh

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We were able to study the book of inheritance in the college, and we mastered what we studied regarding division when there are residuary male heirs with others and alongside others, and so on. We also mastered correcting fractions and reducing them. However, there are some chapters we did not study, such as the chapter on the drowned woman, the collapsed house, pregnancy, and the hypocrite. The question is: Can I grasp this through reading alone, without studying it with a shaykh?
Answer:
No, this cannot be done through reading alone. You must have a scholar who explains these matters to you and clarifies them. Ask him to give you time to complete these chapters with him. I do not think, if Allah wills, that he will refuse.
