The Priority in Learning Sciences for One Who Does Not Know the Shari'ah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man wants to enter the College of Shari'ah, but he was advised that he has a tongue—meaning he is useful for da'wah—It was said to him: to enter the English department because he has a strong argument in speech, so what is the advice for someone like that?
Does he know English or not?The questioner: He does not know.
The Shaykh: If he does not know it, let him enter the Shari'ah and learn the Shari'ah, then let him learn the language in which he calls, whether English, Urdu, Hindi, or otherwise; he learns the language of the direction he is heading toward. How can he learn English, for example, when he does not know the Shari'ah? How does he call?So the one who advised him, I do not say: He intentionally made a mistake; he may be a mujtahid, but he is not correct. Learn the Shari'ah first, then call to Allah the Exalted and Majestic.
