Can You Guide Me on How to Learn Shafi’i Fiqh?

Answered by Ustadha Shazia Ahmad

Question

As I live in a diaspora, I find it hard to find a scholar in my country who can guide me in the Shafi’i fiqh. Do you happen to know if there is any Shafi’i scholar on IG or YouTube who shares knowledge regarding the fiqh? Or is there any specific platform to ask questions?

Answer

Thank you for your question. May Allah make it easy for you to acquire knowledge regarding your fiqh and help you learn the basics of Shafi`i fiqh.

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “When Allah wishes good for anyone, He bestows upon him the Fiqh (comprehension) of the religion.” [Bukhari]
