Is it considered part of knowledge to raise an objection and then answer it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: A section. Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no, they do not answer them, and even raising an objection that is out of place is an error, because you raise the objection and answer it, and perhaps your answer will not be accepted. For example, some people take this path of raising many objections, and that is an error. Look at the biographies of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them); you will find that they took the texts at their apparent meaning and did not delve deeply. And look at the research of the later scholars; how they delve deeply into matters where their research is considered excessive.
