Is the establishment of meeting a scholar a necessary condition for the establishment of hearing from him?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, regarding the issue of meeting a scholar and hearing from him, Shaykh, is it required, meaning, is the establishment of hearing a condition of meeting, or is it not required?
The Shaykh : Is the establishment of meeting a scholar a necessary condition for the establishment of hearing from him, or is it the reverse? Your question?
The questioner : No, is the establishment of hearing from a scholar a necessary condition for the establishment of meeting him? Yes.
The Shaykh : Ah, I repeated my phrase...
The questioner : Yes, I am confirming it.
The Shaykh : The establishment of hearing is not required, but the establishment of meeting is sufficient to prove hearing in any hadith narrated by one who met his shaykh and whose meeting with him is known, unless it is established for us that he is a practitioner of tadlis (concealment of a defect in a chain); in that case, it is not established. Is my answer clear? Good.
