Questioner:
Which
books
do
you
advise
to
read
in
regards
to
Aqdah,
Tafsr,
Hadth
along
with
its
sciences
and
Fiqh?
Answer:
The
first
treatises
that
I
advise
with
the
memorisation
of
-
for
the
one
who
wishes
to
begin
seeking
knowledge,
is
The
Three
Principles,
[after
that]
The
Pillars
of
Salh
and
its
Obligations
and
Conditions
followed
by,
The
Four
Principles
whilst
using
a
copy
that
compiles
all
three
into
one].
Likewise,
it
is
desirable
to
memorise
The
Conditions
of
La
illha
il
Allh
and
The
Nullifiers
of
la
illha
il
Allh.
It
is
essential
that
he
memorises
these
treatises
well,
and
after
doing
so,
reads
them
to
a
student
of
knowledge
so
as
to
take
from
the
mouths
of
men
and
not
from
the
belly
of
books
[i.e.
sits
with
scholars
to
ensure
correct
understanding
as
opposed
to
relying
on
one's
own
readings].
If
after
that
it
is
easy
for
him
to
memorise
Removal
of
The
Doubts
then
that
is
good.
However,
the
book
that
is
essential
for
a
student
of
knowledge
to
memorise
and
study
in
the
subject
of
Aqdah
specifically
with
regards
to
Tawhd
of
Worship
and
Rulership
-
in
an
original
manner,
is
The
Book
of
Tawhd,
which
is
the
right
of
Allh
upon
His
servants.
This
is
a
great
book.
It
is
[a
collection]
of
selected
segments
from
verses
in
the
Book
of
Allah,
Prophetic
Hadth,
and
narrations
of
the
People
of
Knowledge.
It
is
a
book,
which
by
way
of
it
Allh
has
facilitated
a
great
deal
of
good.

P a g e
We
advise
our
youth
to
give
importance
to
this
book,
[by]
memorising,
and
understanding
[it
well]
and
by
reading
its
explanations
in
order
to
be
firm
in
this
subject,
the
subject
of
Aqdah.
Afterwards,
in
the
subject
of
Tawhd
of
the
Names
and
Attributes
-
for
the
student
who
has
great
desires
for
knowledge,
he
should
memorise
the
text
of
al-
Wsatyh
or
study
it
so
that
he
understands
it.
Then
[he
should
move
onto]
the
books
that
have
been
gathered
under
the
title,
Majm
Fatw
of
Ibn
Taymiyh.
Within
this
collection
are
very
important
treatises
that
are
essential
for
a
student
of
knowledge
to
study.
If
the
student
wishes
to
expand
in
[reading
other]
authorship
on
the
subject
of
Names
and
Attributes
in
detail,
he
should
study
the
Explanation
of
at-Tahwyh
since
the
author
of
the
explanation
of
at-
Tahwyh
transmits
the
majority
or
bulk
of
his
books
from
the
books
of
Shaykh
al-Islm
ibn
Taymiyh
and
his
student
Ibn
al-Qayyim,
and
the
books
of
Ibn
Kathr.
It
is
a
comprehensive
and
beneficial
book.
As
for
Tafsr,
then
is
it
essential
that
a
small
student
of
knowledge
begins
with
Tafsr
bd
ur-Rahmn
as-Sid
because
it
is
concise
and
his
manhj
was
well
known
-
his
manhj
was
Salaf.
If
the
student
is
well
acquainted
and
grounded
in
the
branches
of
the
Arabic
Language,
and
finds
a
teachers
or
a
Salaf
exegete,
then
he
should
study
Fth
al-Qadr
by
ash-Shawkn.
I
have
made
these
cautions
and
set
these
conditions
because
Imam
ash-Shawkn
even
with
his
great
knowledge
and
good
authorships,
especially
in
Fath
al-Qadr
and
Nayl
al-wtr
he
was
not
innocent
from
interpreting
some
texts
in
terms
of
the
Attributes
[of
Allh].
In
case
he
is
deceived
by
this,
it
is
essential
that
he
chooses
a
Salaf
exegete
to
study
this
book.
Thereafter
the
tasfr
that
is
well
known
to
us,
which
is
Tafsr
Ibn
Kathr
there
is
no
problem
in
studying
the
summarisation
that
has
been
summarised
from
this
tafsr
or
even
diving
into
other
parts.
Nevertheless,
saying
all
that
Ive
said,
it
is
not
befitting
that
a
student
of
knowledge
suffices
with
reading,
but
rather
he
must
turn
to
the
people
of
knowledge.
Also,
before
we
finish
[speaking
about]
tafsr,
it
is
also
necessary
to
study
the
sciences
of
tafsr.
From
the
sciences
of
tafsr
are
the
technique
of
recitation,
and
the
subjects
of
the
Arabic
Language.
All
of
this
is
from
the
sciences
of
tafsr.
Then
he
should
study
hadth.
He
should
memorise
texts
as
we
mentioned
last
night,
he
should
begin
with
Forty
Hadth
an-Naww
and
Umdatul
Ahkm
and
Bulgh
al-Maram.
Thereafter
he
should
study
the
conditions
and
become
aware
of
these
books.
He
should
study
them
with
the
people
who
are
specialised
[in
this
subject].
[As
for]
fiqh,
then
if
the
student
of
knowledge
wishes
to
expand
and
become
acquainted
with
the
differences
amongst
the
scholars
of
fiqh,
then
he
should
memorise
texts
from
all
four
schools
of
thought.
He
should
not
accustom
himself
2

P a g e
in
sticking
to
just
one
specific
school,
since
the
correct
fiqh
is
that
which
is
studied
in
Umdatul
Ahkm
and
Bulgh
al-Maram
[that
is]
the
fiqh
of
the
Sunnah
and
some
of
the
books
of
Imam
ash-Shawkn
provided,
as
Ive
said,
there
is
no
bigotry
to
any
single
individual
or
school
of
thought,
[rather]
his
goal
should
be
to
seek
knowledge.
