The ruling on studying the chapters of inheritance through self-study without a shaykh
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We studied the book of inheritance in the college, and we mastered what we studied regarding division when there are residuary male heirs with others or alongside others, and so on. We also mastered correcting fractions, reduction, and 'awl. However, there are some chapters we did not study, such as the chapter on the drowned, the collapsed, pregnancy, and succession. The question is: Can I grasp this through self-study without studying under a shaykh?
Answer:
No, you cannot do this through self-study. You must have a scholar who explains and clarifies these matters for you. Yes. Let the one who taught you in the college give you time to complete these chapters with him. I do not think, if Allah wills, that he will refuse.
