Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: What are the best books of hadith for the student of knowledge who wants to equip himself with Islamic sacred law?
Answer:
The issue is not with the books; the books exist, praise be to Allah, and are available. The issue is with the presence of a teacher, a teacher who can clarify the meanings in the hadiths and distinguish between the authentic hadith and others. If you find a qualified teacher, he is the one who will choose the book for you that he will explain to you. The books, praise be to Allah, are numerous and available. We do not complain about the scarcity of books, but we complain about the scarcity of scholars, and scholars who are teachers who can teach people and make them understand their religion. Yes.
