What is your advice for students of knowledge in a military city who lack scholarly lessons?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We are in the city of Hafar al-Batin, a military city, and we lack scholarly lessons.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We seek guidance from your Eminence.
The Shaykh : Now, praise be to Allah, no one has an excuse anymore. Tapes are available day and night. Yes, a person can choose a scholar he trusts and listen to his tapes as if he were sitting with him. I advise you to choose scholars you trust, take their tapes, and follow them. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. As for the scarcity of scholars, we complain to Allah the Mighty and Majestic. Scholars are few everywhere, even in the large cities now there are not enough to suffice. You need a number of scholars, but we ask Allah the Mighty and Majestic to put blessing in them. Praise be to Allah, matters have expanded now with these tapes. Also, people have recently started requesting phone connections for lectures or meetings or the like, and there is much good in that. You can request that one of the scholars you trust arrange for you, for example, a monthly, weekly, or bi-weekly meeting, and there will be good in that. Yes.
