Haste in rejecting something you do not fully understand leads to deprivation (A precious rule for the student of knowledge)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he mentioned a verse that should be a guiding light for a person to follow
"Haste in rejecting something you do not fully understand leads to deprivation"
Do not hasten to reject anything you do not fully understand. How often do we reject something and then regret it when we rush? For example, you may find in books of knowledge that an author uses a general expression, and you ask: Why did he use it? Then you try to force an interpretation onto the book and say: This generalization is questionable. But then you find the author qualifies it at the end of the discussion.
Also, someone may speak to you, and a word may come from him that you think is a mistake, so you reject it, and he says: Wait, the speech is not finished.
It is certainly a matter of intellect and Shari'ah for a person to be deliberate and not reject something until the error in it becomes clear.
"Haste in rejecting something"
"Haste" means rushing, from the verb "to rush," like a fighter who fights a fight.
"Haste in rejecting something you do not fully understand leads to deprivation"
So what should I do? What? I wait and am deliberate, until the matters are complete and there is room for rejection, then I reject it. And Allah knows best.
"The scholars in the ages"
Yes, good.
"So listen then to its interpretation and understand it, do not hasten to reject it or deny it
Indeed, hastening to reject something about which you have no knowledge leads to deprivation.
