The Ruling on Memorization by Dictation or from the Book
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: We often hear that memorization is done by dictation, and that the modern method of teaching is different from dictation. Which of the two is correct?
Answer:
The required memorization—the required memorization—can be achieved by any means by which you memorize. Whether you memorize from the book or someone memorizes it for you and dictates it to you, the matters differ. A blind person who cannot read from the book must be dictated to. A sighted person who reads from the book and memorizes from the book has no problem with that. So, the requirement is to memorize by whatever means makes it easy for you.
