Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the criterion for studying the science of logic? Do we learn it, or are we excused from it, knowing that it plays a major role for the student of Islamic knowledge?
Answer:
By Allah, the science of logic is full of mazes, and then some of it contradicts other parts. You should stick to the Book and the Sunnah, and that is sufficient for you. Do not enter into mazes and hypotheticals and so on, for it leads to nothing. Yes.
