Is it possible for someone who has read parts of Al-Fawzan’s "Al-Mulakhkhas Al-Fiqhi" and Al-Uthaymeen’s "Al-Sharh Al-Mumti‘", and has only a slight knowledge of Usul Al-Fiqh and colloquial Arabic, to study Ibn Qudamah’s "Al-Mughni", assuming that the term "makrooh" (disliked) in it means karahat Al-tanzeeh (mildly disliked) and "sunnah" or "nadb" (recommended) means istihbab (recommended), and can they memorize the hadiths mentioned in these books and transmit them as authentic based on the status of their authors?
We advise learning from a proficient scholar and beginning with an accredited jurisprudential text before perusing larger books such as Al-Mughni, while also acquiring instrumental sciences like Usul al-Fiqh (principles of jurisprudence) and grammar. The book Al-Mughni is great, but it may mention weak hadiths, so it is necessary to investigate and verify the authenticity of the hadiths cited therein. As for the book Al-Sharh Al-Mumti’ by Ibn Uthaymeen, it strives to adduce sound evidence and draws attention to the grades of hadiths. It is not permissible to use a hadith as evidence before verifying its authenticity from proficient hadith scholars.
