Relying on the Internet for Issues of Menstruation Instead of Asking Scholars

Question:
This is a question from a woman, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. She says: Do you advise us that when something is unclear to us, we should search on the internet, especially in sensitive matters like issues of menstruation and similar ones, and not turn to the scholars? Because this causes us embarrassment?

Answer:
No, this is not sufficient. Allah the Exalted said: Reading in books or looking at satellite channels or stations is not sufficient for this, because you may encounter a person who is not from the people of knowledge, or from the people of knowledge who are being asked, and he may make a mistake and mislead you.
Or you may not understand the speech; you take it and think you have understood it, while you are on one path and the speaker is on another. So it is necessary to ask the people of knowledge so that the difficulty is completely resolved. There is no shame in asking about matters of religion; this is not shame. This is bashfulness, and this is blameworthy. This is blameworthy, this is bashfulness. Yes.
