The question is from France. The
questioner asks: May Allah bless you with good, in regard to the one who
is far from the scholars and wishes to seek religious knowledge but it
is difficult for him to travel for the purpose, but at the same time he
struggles diligently to attend those live broadcasts of the scholars
directly, and he devotes himself to listening to their recorded
lectures, and remaining connected to them – is he called a “student of
knowledge”, and is it possible for him to benefit the people?
Answer by Shaykh ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree, may Allah protect him and lengthen his life:
This is excellent, certainly you have
worked hard and struggled in these efforts, and this is good as long as
the situation remains as you have mentioned. And what is apparent to me
about the condition of the questioner is that he does not have the
ability to travel to take knowledge directly from the scholars, either
because of his region being far away, or having to work significantly to
support himself and the members of his household who rely upon him. Yet
even in this situation we say that to the degree of his
ability, if he can he should, even one time a year, travel for a
specific number of days to a steadfast scholar who is firm in knowledge
and understanding – someone upon the Sunnah – and take from him whatever
knowledge is easy for him. This is the first thing.
Secondly: We advise you to continue upon those efforts to study that you mentioned, and to also benefit your brothers from what you comprehend and understand from the statements and writings of the people of knowledge, and by means of your calling the scholars, or by means of their audio lectures.
And be warned against delving into
issues of knowledge related to scholastic differences, which even many
of the scholars have fallen short of fully knowing. Yes.
And there is another matter, and it is the
third thing I want to mention in my response to your question. If you
are able, then gather whatever matters and issues that are difficult and
that you are not able to answer, and call a scholar, one who is reliable, and ask these questions to him.
Then convey his responses to those people who needed that answer or
clarification. In this is something in which there is tremendous good.
