Question:
What is meant by the statement: "Some who carry fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) are not fuqaha (jurists), and some who carry fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) to one who is more knowledgeable in fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) than they are"?
Answer:
It is clear that a person may memorize the hadiths and memorize the Qur'an, yet not understand the meanings. This is not a faqih (jurist); he is merely a memorizer. He is merely a memorizer who does not understand the meanings. He memorizes the texts but does not know their meanings or recognize them. This is one who carries fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) but is not a faqih (jurist). Yes.

May Allah reward you.
