Conditions for Enrollment at the Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen Center
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah reward you. A young man wishes to seek knowledge once he has memorized the Book of Allah and some of the texts. He seeks your advice regarding the methodology of seeking knowledge; he also wishes to attend your lessons, particularly during the summer vacation.
We welcome every person who comes to the house of knowledge; we do not prevent anyone.But the most important thing for me is: If he is not a Saudi, he must bring proof of his residence and that it is through an official channel; because it has happened that some people do not have residence permits, and this caused a problem and back-and-forth with the authorities.
And the second thing: There should be a recommendation from some people known to us, so that one feels more reassured.
And we, may Allah bless you, our lessons are fixed, meaning we do not change them for the attendance of new people; because if we kept changing them every time new people attended,Its meaning is: we would not make progress, and among the students are people who have advanced and grasped—for example—a large portion of the knowledge, so they do not like to go back; but there are senior students among us who sit with the beginner students and teach them what is appropriate.
