Question:
More than one question has come in asking whether you, Honorable Shaykh, recommend memorizing the book *Sharh al-Sunnah* by Imam al-Barbahari?
Answer:
Yes, that is fine, but memorization alone is not enough; it is necessary to receive its explanation from scholars and people of insight. Mere memorization stores things in your memory that you do not understand; that is not sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
Prepared by the Project of the Senior Scholars of Kuwait, may Allah honor it with tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the Sunnah.
