The Shaykh’s opening with the sermon of necessity, and the method of receiving knowledge.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: He whom Allah guides, no one can mislead, and he whom He leaves to mislead, no one can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. As for what follows:
One of the scholarly methods for spreading beneficial knowledge—if Allah wills—is what our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) indicated in His Book:
So ask the people of knowledge if you do not know فاسألوا أهل الذكر إن كنتم لا تعلمون

, and likewise His saying (peace be upon him) in the hadith of the man who was injured in the head, then became in a state of major ritual impurity, and sought the opinion of some of those around him; so they gave him the ruling that he had to perform the full ritual bath, so he did, and the result was that he died. The news of this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—naturally, we are abbreviating the hadith—so he (peace be upon him) said:
They killed him, may Allah kill them. Did they not ask when they were ignorant? Indeed, the cure for ignorance is asking. قتلوه قاتلهم الله ، ألا سألوا حين جهلوا ، فإنما شفاء العيِّ السؤال
. Thus, learning through the method of question and answer is a Salafi method that is followed, established by Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His Book, and followed by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in his community. Therefore, we see that this method is often more beneficial for some of the attendees or all of them... because each one of them directs the questions he has that he cares about more than others. Accordingly, if you have some questions, we would like to hear them, and if we have an answer to them, we will answer; otherwise, we entrust the matter to its scholar...
