Advice for a student of knowledge in choosing Islamic legal books

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The brother questioner, Ali, from Al-Dammam, says: After a Muslim has memorized the entire Qur'an, praise be to Allah, what is the Shaykh's advice regarding the Islamic legal books with which a student of knowledge should begin? Tafsir, hadith, or books of fiqh and usul?

Answer:
If a person wants to seek knowledge, he should join the scholars who teach knowledge in study circles. They will assign him the appropriate books that they want to hear him recite and explain, and they will explain them to him. As for taking books on his own without a teacher, that is not seeking knowledge; rather, he wants to learn from the books alone. This is not acceptable, because he may understand them, and often he will understand them incorrectly. He will think he is correct and rely on his own understanding, thinking he is on the right path. The misguidance, destruction, and takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) that have occurred in our present time have only happened because of this type of self-taught person who abandoned seeking knowledge from scholars through systematic studies and studies in the teaching circles in the mosques, and settled for merely reading books. They relied on their own understanding, or they sided with someone like them or even more ignorant than them, so they grew up with these misguidances, may Allah protect us from that. Yes.
