The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: The one who follows the scholarly lessons via the internet and does not attend the mosque, is he considered like the one who went to the mosque and attended these lessons in terms of reward?
The Shaykh:
No, he goes to the mosque and sits in the mosque. Receiving the lessons in the mosque is better than relying on the transmission, and the transmission may also contain some error. But attending, listening, and looking is much better. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah guide us.
The Shaykh:
The virtue of sitting in the mosque. Yes.
