The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is studying 'aqidah and delving deeply into it obligatory for every jurist, hadith scholar, and student of knowledge?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is necessary according to one's ability. One must learn 'aqidah according to his ability and capacity. The more one delves into 'aqidah, the more his certainty and faith increase. There is no doubt that the faith of a deeply rooted scholar is stronger than the faith of a scholar who is less so, and the faith of a scholar is stronger and more firmly rooted than the faith of a layperson. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
Faith increases, and knowledge and 'aqidah increase. Things become clear to you that you did not know before. Yes.
