Question:
He says: What are the most prominent, reliable books of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) that a person should read and benefit from, Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
The book is not what matters; the teacher is what matters. If you find a teacher who is proficient in knowledge, study under him. He is the one who will recommend the book that suits you. As for taking books and choosing books without a teacher, without a scholar to explain them to you, that is a great error, and its danger is also great. Because you will end up being a self-taught ignoramus. It would have been better if you had remained in your ignorance and known that you were ignorant, but you progress until you think you are a scholar while you are actually ignorant. You do not know, and you do not know that you do not know. This is a calamity. Yes.
