What is the recommended audio explanation for the text of "'Umdat al-Ahkam," the explanation by Ibn 'Uthaymeen or Al-Shinqiti, knowing that I lean towards the latter due to my belief in his specialization in Fiqh and his later time period, and whom do you advise me to seek knowledge from in every discipline, such as Aqeedah and Hadith sciences, whether from Shaykhs with recorded lessons or from those I could attend in study circles if I am able to travel to the Kingdom?
You have the option to limit yourself to whomever you find easier to understand, closer to your comprehension, and whose audios are more accessible. In matters of creed ('aqidah), we advise you to listen to explanations from those known for the soundness of their belief, such as Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen on "Al-Aqidah Al-Wasitiyyah," Sheikh Al-Ghunayman on "Kitab Al-," Sheikh Safar Al-Hawali on "Sharh Al-Aqidah Al-Tahawiyyah," and Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Mahmoud and Sheikh Nasser Al-Aql.
If you are unable to seek knowledge in Saudi Arabia, limit yourself to listening to the audios of Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen and Sheikh Al-Shinqiti, as Sheikh Al-Uthaymeen's lessons are distinguished by their variety and gradual progression. However, if you move to Saudi Arabia, join the study circles ('halaqat al-ilm) near you. In Riyadh, you can join the scholarly courses at Ibn Taymiyyah Mosque or Ali bin Al-Madini Mosque, or Sheikh Abdul Karim Al-Khudair's courses.
