Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, regarding the student of knowledge, is it recommended or obligatory for him in the matter of learning knowledge to memorize the Alfiyyah?
The Shaykh : As for it being obligatory, no, and this is a clear matter. As for it being recommended, that varies from person to person. So, whoever is endowed with memorization and intelligence, there is no doubt that his memorization of the poetic verses in every science is something that helps him.
