From the Etiquettes of the Student of Knowledge & The Reality of the Pseudo-Scholar and Studies: By Shaykh Dr. Salih bin Fawzan bin Abdullah al Fawzan


Now on Amazon, Paperback & Hardback.

This book contains the teachings and insights of Shaykh Dr. Salih bin Fawzan bin Abdullah Al-Fawzan on the etiquette and ethics of seeking knowledge. The concise yet comprehensive first book highlights the significance of seeking knowledge in Shariah law and covers various related topics. The Shaykh expertly connects with his audience and emphasizes the importance of acquiring knowledge.

The second part of the book, titled “The Reality of Pseudo-Scholar and Studies,” features excerpts from Shaykh’s lectures, writings, and fatwas. This section sheds light on the harmful effects of unqualified individuals and unorthodox learning methods prevalent in some Muslim communities. Given the nuances of Islam in the West, where many Muslims struggle to distinguish between genuine scholars and pseudo-scholars, this book aims to educate readers on the qualifications and attributes of a true scholar of Islam.

Excerpt from the book:

Is it Okay to Sit with a Shaykh Who Learned from Books Only?
Question: May Allah bless you, O honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: “Is it permissible to seek knowledge from a Shaykh who did not seek knowledge from scholars but only from books?”

Answer: Masha’Allah, knowledge has become so easy, just from books (only wow)! So this person who falls into misguidance, error, and misunderstanding due to depending on books only should not be taken as a mentor or followed (do not take knowledge from him). Yes, he is a Muta’alim (pseudo-scholar, unqualified), not a scholar.
