The Ruling on Learning Through Lecture Tapes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Does learning through lecture tapes of the great scholars, particularly in the matters of creed, yield benefit, and do you recommend it?
Answer:
It yields benefit, but it does not yield knowledge. Knowledge must be taken from the scholars; listening to tapes or reading books does not suffice for you in place of seeking knowledge and receiving it from the scholars. You only use the books and the tapes as aids. As for relying on them for seeking knowledge, no, that is not acceptable. Yes.
