This questioner asks: May Allah reward you. Do you recommend memorizing al-Umdah by Ibn Qudamah, or is another text more suitable for memorization? More suitable? More suitable for memorization?
Answer:
I am not speaking about memorization. Memorize al-Mughni, if Allah wills, provided it does not contradict [the established position]. But on whom do you base your memorization? It is not permissible to base it on yourself. You must base it on a well-known scholar who explains it to you and clarifies it for you. That is what is required. Yes.
