The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is the ruling, or what is your opinion, on some people who hold circles in their homes, glorifying Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and studying the hadiths of *Riyad al-Salihin*?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. What is your opinion on some people who hold circles in their homes, glorifying Allah the Exalted, and studying the hadiths of *Riyad al-Salihin*?
The Shaykh:
Studying *Riyad al-Salihin* is fine if there is a scholar who explains it to them and clarifies it for them. But if they are common people or ignorant, this is not suitable. There must be a scholar who clarifies and explains it to them.
