This sincere advice is for myself first and foremost, then to my brothers and sisters. It is regarding a habit, which I have observed in classes, during tele-links, and on discussion forums. 1. Formulating Questions Sometimes, a questioner will post a question for the sake of asking a question. Allahu Alam. A good reminder comes from the book ?The Manners of the Scholar & Student of Knowledge? © 1988 SalafiPublications, page 52:
In this book, there are eight (8) points of benefit when learning how to articulate questions to the people of knowledge. Refer to pages 52-58 in the aforementioned text, barakAllahu feekum.
2. ?Search-Friendly? Questions Occasionally, an individual will post a thread with a heading such as ?????, ?Question?, ?Important? or ?Help?. This makes searching for a particular topic both impractical and inconvenient. It would be more beneficial to use the main subject of your post as the header, thus maximizing one?s search experience. 3. Repetitive Questions One should show a little resourcefulness, and research to see if the question was already asked in the past (which I often find is the case). For instance, this can be accomplished by way of purchasing or borrowing books (such as Fataawa Islamiyyah, Majmoo Fataawa, or even searching reputable Salafee websites). We should strive to be comprehensive yet concise, unless explicitly asked for more information. This is in no way a deterrent to ask questions, since we are commanded to ask the people of knowledge when we don?t know. Rather, this is simply a reminder on the methodology of going about it. ______________________________ ام الحارث شهيدة Ummul-Haarith Shahidah This message was edited by Jilbaab on 1-23-05 @ 6:01 PM
