The ruling on answering questions while the scholar is answering
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Some of the brothers answer the questions presented to you at the same time that you are answering, which causes confusion. Is there any guidance for this brother to make this practice beneficial?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He says: Some of the brothers answer the questions presented to you at the same time that you are answering, which causes confusion. Is there any guidance for this brother so that these questions can be generalized?
The Shaykh:
I hope this is not happening. This is not befitting of the etiquette of gatherings of knowledge. The one present in a gathering of knowledge listens and behaves with proper conduct toward the teacher. Otherwise, why would he attend if he is not listening or benefiting, but rather causing confusion? He should not attend; his attendance would be a sin, and he would commit a sin. If someone, meaning, speaks once or something happens from him without it being a habit, he is asked to leave that thing and not return to it. Yes.
