The statement of one who listened to an explanation of a book via a tape, having studied it with the Shaykh
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: If one listens to the complete explanation of the book *Tawhid* that you gave via your website, is he entitled to say he studied the book with the Shaykh?
Answer:
No, no, he did not study the book with me. Merely listening to the tape does not count as having studied with the person; rather, you listened, meaning you only benefited, just as you read in the mushaf or read in a book and only benefit. This is not considered having become a student of the person whose voice it is. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
