Our
Shaykh, the Muḥaddith of the
lands of Yemen, Muqbil ibn Hādī al-Wad’ī on Seeking Beneficial
Knowledge
Translated by Abū al-Ḥasan
Mālik Ādam al-Akhḍar
Our
Shaykh Muqbil ibn
Hādī
al-Wad’ī رحمه الله said:
”So
indeed, I advise anyone who has been granted understanding and hopes that Allāh عز و جل will
benefit by him Islām and the Muslims and honors Allāh’s religion, not to allow the pursuit of [university]
degrees to avert him from seeking beneficial knowledge. For how many people have a doctorate degree
in Islamic Fiqh and have fiqh of nothing? And how many people
have a degree in ḥadīth
and do not understand a ḥadīth?
Thus,these degrees allow scores of people to obtain
positions they do not deserve. So how does the title “Dr.” benefit you, and
you are ignorant of Allaah’s legislation?” [1]
