What are the books of knowledge that you recommend a beginner in the pursuit of knowledge start with?

Question : Honorable Shaykh, what are the books of knowledge, after the Book of Allah the Exalted, that you recommend a beginner in the pursuit of knowledge start with?

Answer : As for the science of hadith, I consider *Nukhbat al-Fikar* by Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani to be one of the best books, because it is concise and contains indications regarding the grading of the hadith. As for fiqh, it is either *Zad al-Mustaqni*, which Shaykh Mansur al-Bahuti explained in a commentary he called *Raudh al-Murbi*, or *Dalil al-Talib*. *Dalil al-Talib* is distinguished from *Raudh al-Murbi* in that it contains a degree of detail and mentions the conditions. *Zad al-Mustaqni* is distinguished by having more issues and its commentary being better than the commentaries on *Dalil al-Talib*.
Yes. As for 'aqidah, I do not find books like the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him). Among the very useful concise books is *al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah*, because despite its brevity, it is the essence of the 'aqidah of the people of the Sunnah and the community. Yes.
What do you say to the beginner about *al-Tahawiyyah*? You say it is for a person who has understanding and knowledge, meaning it contains, as you know, discussions with the people of innovation. Yes.
