Benefit from Books but RETURN to ULEMA

كشكول ٤٨٢: من العلم ما تستطيع تحصيله من الكتب. ومن العلم ما يعسر عليك تحصيله من الكتب



من العلم ما تستطيع تحصيله من الكتب.
ومن العلم ما يعسر عليك تحصيله من الكتب، حتى يكاد يتعذر؛ فلا بد فيه من الرجوع إلى العلماء.
بعض المسائل كنت أسمعها عبر المسجل عن العالم، فلما التقيت به، ورأيت كيف يفعلها، وجدت أني تصورت المسألة على غير صورتها.
فلا تقصر في الرجوع إلى أهل العلم،
و لا تغتر بنفسك، مهما كنت.

واسأل الله العون والتوفيق.











على غير صورتها
So dont fall short (fail) to refer to the Scholars, 
And Do not be deceived by yourself, no matter how (learned) you are.
And ask ALLAH for help & guidance.

Translated by Salman.

Shaykh Abdullaah al-Ghudayaan was asked the following question (mp3) regarding a sister who seeks knowledge through books and tapes which are translations and whether she is allowed to teach in the mosque:
May Allah be benevolent to you and bless you.
And this question, the female questioner says:
A Muslim woman who seeks knowledge through the route of translated books and cassettes and she has the opportunity to contact the scholars for matters that become difficult for her (to understand). Is it permissible for her, or possible for her to teach other Muslim women in the mosque built upon the situation of there not being anyone besides her to teach them matters of etiquette, creed and methodology?
The Shaykh answered:
It is known that a person takes knowledge from the mouths of the scholars and takes every (type) of knowledge from the person who is grounded in this knowledge. So when you wish to take knowledge of tafseer of the Qur’an you take it from a person grounded in this knowledge and likewise for all the other sciences. This is one means.
The second means is that a person reads books, but he does not read books and depend on them unless he is fit and capable of understanding them upon the right way. Because if he had deficiency in his understanding he may understand something upon other than the correct way and afterwards he may speak with what he has understood and what he speaks with is a mistake, then the people act upon what he has made them to understand erroneously and hence he will carry the burden of their sin.
And in relation to this woman, I advise her that she does not teach because she reads from (translated) books without anyone to make her understand these books.
This is the answer to this question.
