Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Please proceed, and your recitation is good.
The questioner : Approximately.
The Shaykh : And your understanding is also good. Have you heard of the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* by Sayyid Sabiq? I acquired it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: I have read it.
The questioner : No, I have not read all of it.
The Shaykh : No, I mean I have read from it.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And it was understandable for you.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you have read from it, meaning you read the first part or less than the first part, or what?
The questioner : According to the issues I was dealing with.
The Shaykh : But I advise you to use *Tamm al-Mannah* as a commentary on *Fiqh al-Sunnah*. Do you know *Tamm al-Mannah*?
The questioner: I know.
The Shaykh : So, once you finish studying this book, or as I understood from you just now, you are not studying it sequentially and comprehensively, but rather reviewing it by looking up the issues that come up for you. In this situation, I advise you to acquire the book *Al-Rawdat al-Nadiyyah Sharh al-Durar al-Bahiyyah*, where the text is by al-Shawkani and the commentary is by Sa'diq Hasan Khan. This is because both men’s methodology is based on the Book and the Sunnah, not according to the followed schools of jurisprudence. So, if you use this or that, it will benefit you, if Allah wills. Then you move on to *Subul al-Salam* by al-San'ani. These three references are sufficient for you now. Please proceed.
