Application on the blackboard in the explanation of inheritance law

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. May Allah have mercy on the students of knowledge who have passed away, who used to receive the knowledge of inheritance law through oral transmission. They used to receive the knowledge of inheritance law through oral transmission, but in our time, the blackboard and explanation on it are necessary. So we ask you to apply this on the blackboard by bringing out one of the students to write and explain, Honorable Shaykh.

Answer:
We are not studying inheritance law now; we are studying fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), we are studying fiqh, we are not studying inheritance law. If we were studying inheritance law, perhaps, but the mosque does not have blackboards. This is part of your dullness now, that you do not know except by the blackboard. This is dullness. The students used to know this without a blackboard. They did not know blackboards at first. In fact, our Shaykh, Shaykh al-Shanqiti (may Allah have mercy on him), hated the blackboard very much.
He says because it is part of the Western system, no, no, he does not like to see it. Because they did not, they did not learn with blackboards. When blackboards came, dullness occurred. Minds became exhausted. And it became necessary to have a blackboard, and a computer, and it is necessary. I do not know what it means, it has become that there are no ideas now. If these things are lost, they have nothing. And it has become that there is no blackboard, no computer, and no pen to write with.
He wants to lose this knowledge. So it is obligatory for a person to seek help from Allah and rely on his memory. And not to accustom himself to these things and look at them; because they disable him. This is a form of luxury. They call it intellectual luxury. Does a person have to have a machine or do nothing? No, a person should make an effort, and even if it becomes difficult for him at first until he practices. Yes.
