Renewal in the Established Books of Jurisprudence in the School of Thought

The Shaykh:
He says: In these days, there is a widespread call for renewal in the established books of jurisprudence in the school of thought, even though the books of the school of thought have served for a thousand years, being handled by the hands of scholars for purification and clarification, and the scholars of this land have taken care of them. Yes, all of this is true, and the books of the four schools of thought, praise be to Allah, have been clarified and purified despite the passage of time and the succession of generations of scholars; they are reliable, and they were established for the gradual pursuit of knowledge, as we have mentioned.
So what is required of the student of knowledge is that he takes, for example, the concise books of the school of thought, then the intermediate ones, then the detailed ones. This does not mean that everything in them is one hundred percent correct. There may be errors in them, but they are errors of independent legal reasoning. If a person is able to know, for example, if he knows what the evidence is based on, he takes it. It is required of a person to follow the evidence. But as long as he does not know, he asks the people of knowledge. Allah the Exalted said: He asks. He says: By Allah, do you advise this book or not? This book is one in which he consults the people of knowledge. Yes.
