Which is better for a student of knowledge: memorizing the texts of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), or memorizing the texts of hadiths organized under the chapters of fiqh?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is better for a student of knowledge: memorizing the texts of the words of the scholars, or memorizing the texts of hadiths organized under the chapters of fiqh, such as Bulugh al-Maram and others?

Answer:
The hadiths, my brother, are merely evidence, whereas fiqh is the derivation of rulings from that evidence. Therefore, both are necessary. You must memorize the hadiths and you must memorize the fiqh. However, if you limit yourself to memorizing the hadiths without understanding their meaning, that will benefit you in no way. Or if you limit yourself to the fiqh without knowing the evidence, that will benefit you in no way. So it is necessary to combine the two. Yes.
And the best thing, the best thing, is that you memorize the fiqh and you memorize, for example, Bulugh al-Maram or 'Umdat al-Ahkam, because they are related to one another. As for memorizing from the major collections and the large compilations, that is something you cannot do. Yes, and even if you could, you would not benefit from their meanings or their fiqh. Knowledge is taken bit by bit. Yes.
