Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the criterion for taking on the role of preaching and teaching? What is the criterion?
The Shaykh : What is the criterion?
The questioner : For the one who takes on the role of preaching and teaching.
The Shaykh : There is no specific criterion.
The questioner : I mean the conditions for this person who preaches to people and teaches them.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is no doubt that he should be a scholar, at least in what he preaches about, and he should not be a mere reciter. We know some preachers who have a good influence on the audiences, but they have no knowledge. So when they deviate from the topics they are accustomed to delivering, they bring up incorrect matters, and people understand from them that these are part of the Shari'ah.
Another questioner : ... Is there a project to explain one of the six books of hadith, specifically Muslim?
The Shaykh : No, I do not have one, nor do I have the free time for such a work.
Another questioner : Regarding the abridgment of Muslim.
The Shaykh : The one I did? No, it is lost, unfortunately.
The questioner : It is lost.
