Are the cassette tapes of the shaykhs sufficient for young people who desire to pursue knowledge but whose circumstances do not allow them, and are they thereby considered seekers of knowledge like others?

Tapes and books are sufficient for those who cannot attend the gatherings of scholars, and they are a good substitute in case of necessity. One can become a student of knowledge or a scholar through books and tapes if they strive, but receiving knowledge directly from scholars is better and easier for understanding and discussion, and it saves the student of knowledge from error and misunderstanding.
