Study with scholars who are known

376

Q 2: I am an affiliated student at the Faculty of Jurisprudence and Law, University of Sana`a' and I do not attend so that I can save the university expenses and help my family with anything that I can offer. They live in a village and I am the eldest of my siblings. My father is disabled and my siblings are young. My problem is that I want to study Shari`ah at the hands of a trusted scholar such as Shaykh Muqbil (may Allah protect him). Unfortunately, I can not leave my family for they are in dire need of my help and the only thing I can do is to read the cheap books which I buy. Please, advise me, may Allah grant you success!

(Part No. 12; Page No. 101) A: We advise you to continue seeking knowledge of Shari`ah from the scholars of Ahl-ul-Sunnah (those adhering to the Sunnah) even if this is by affiliation and reading. Try your utmost to seek knowledge and do not stop. You can do this along with working to gain money for yourself, your father, and your siblings. You will be rewarded for this, in sha'a-Allah (if Allah wills).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
