What is the best method for a student of knowledge in studying Islamic jurisprudence?

The questioner : He asks about a matter, which is: Which is better for a student of knowledge, to begin by reading a book of Islamic jurisprudence, for example, according to one of the four schools of jurisprudence or others, or to read Islamic jurisprudence from the books of hadith and their commentaries? Between the two, meaning, does he read the book of Islamic jurisprudence according to one of the schools on the basis that he strengthens himself or that he has a collection of knowledge in these schools, or does he begin with the books that explain the jurisprudential hadiths from the books of hadith, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : If he has a desire for reading, the second option is what is obligatory for him. The second option.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : Because reading books of Islamic jurisprudence is an ocean with no shore.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : But if, and this actually differs between a dedicated student of knowledge and a student of knowledge who is not dedicated, if he is dedicated and has no work other than knowledge, he combines this and that. But if his time is limited, he begins with what we mentioned earlier, the Salafi jurisprudence.

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh: Yes.
