Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Salih Muhammad, says: What is the advice of the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) in this program for the student of knowledge to engage in, and what do you direct him to, may you be rewarded, regarding the circles of knowledge and visiting the scholars?
Answer:
We advise him to fear Allah the Exalted and to be eager to seek knowledge. He should seek it from its proper sources, either through formal education in schools, institutes, and colleges, or through the circles of knowledge in the mosques. However, the one who leads the circle and teaches in it must be a scholar who is trusted in his knowledge and trusted in his creed. And the seeking of knowledge must be from reliable books that conform to the Book and the Sunnah.
