The Path to Learning Islamic Jurisprudence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, he says: What are the best books of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) to read in order to acquire religious knowledge?
Answer:
Reading books is not sufficient for learning; one must take knowledge from the scholars. You read these books to them, and they clarify them for the students. As for sticking to books or memorizing them, that is not the path of learning and acquisition. They should be aware of this matter, which is no less serious than ignorance, because it is ignorance, not knowledge; one understands it incorrectly. Likewise, if one reads from a person who has no acquisition of knowledge and no foundational understanding, it will only increase his misguidance or distance from the knowledge. Yes.
