Introduction by the Shaykh on the virtue of asking scholars.

The Shaykh : ... We praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of our own selves and from the bad of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can misguide, and whoever He misguides, 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 slave and His messenger. As for what follows, one of the ways of learning knowledge is what is explicitly stated in the words of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed this in the hadith narrated by Abu Dawud in his Sunan and by Imam Abu 'Abd al-Allah al-Hakim in his Mustadrak, from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) sent a detachment to fight in the cause of Allah. Then, when the war had ended between him (peace be upon him) and the disbelievers, and morning came upon them, one of them was in a state of major ritual impurity and had many wounds. He asked those around him if they knew of a dispensation for him not to perform the full ritual bath due to his wounds. They told him that he had to perform the bath. So he performed it, and as a result, he died, as is clear to everyone, because the heat rose due to the pus and suppuration, etc., and he died. When this reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: And here is the point: .
It is customary among people that the transmission of knowledge usually takes place through an organized method, whether in the old circles in the mosques in the morning or evening, or similar, or as is the case now in all schools, whether religious or otherwise. But this second method is often more beneficial and useful for many people. Perhaps you have realized what I mean by the second method, which is the method of question and answer. I said that this method or this approach may be more beneficial because many people encounter certain matters in which they do not know the ruling of the Shari'ah, and they may not find someone to issue a fatwa for them regarding it. So, when they are given the opportunity to meet and gather with someone who may have been granted a share of knowledge, they seize the opportunity and ask about the issues or problems that are on their minds, for which they find no solution, whether in their own persons or in their relationships with other people in whom they may perceive knowledge. Therefore, we say: if one of the methods of receiving knowledge is question and answer, then bring your questions, and may Allah bless you.
