The Method of Seeking Religious Knowledge
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I am studying at the College of Shari'ah, and I have a question. Some of the students of knowledge, Shaykh, begin seeking knowledge with books of hadith rather than the fiqh manuals. They justify this by saying that the fiqh manuals are devoid of evidence from the Book and the Sunnah. What is the Shaykh's opinion on this?
Answer:
This is not the method for seeking knowledge. Seeking knowledge is to read a concise text from every discipline of the Shari'ah: a concise text in fiqh, for example, a concise text in grammar, a concise text in hadith, a concise text in tafsir. This is the method of seeking knowledge. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
