Is it permissible for me to seek knowledge despite my lack of basic grammatical knowledge, such as distinguishing between the doer (subject) and the object of an action?

The answer

There is no impediment for a student to begin by seeking branches of Sharia sciences without knowledge of grammar (Nahw) and the rules of the Arabic language. Grammar is one of the instrumental sciences that aids in understanding the texts of revelation and the words of scholars. It has two benefits: the soundness of the tongue from errors, and the correct understanding of texts. A student can start by memorizing the Quran, Hadith, and fiqhic texts, and then gradually progress to learning grammar. He should adhere to theience of Allah and frequently supplicate.
