9.122

وَ مَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ لِیَنْفِرُوْا كَآفَّةًؕ-فَلَوْ لَا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِّنْهُمْ طَآىٕفَةٌ لِّیَتَفَقَّهُوْا فِی الدِّیْنِ وَ لِیُنْذِرُوْا قَوْمَهُمْ اِذَا رَجَعُوْۤا اِلَیْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَحْذَرُوْنَ۠ (122)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And it is not ˹feasible˺ for the believers that all go forth; so why should not a faction from every group go forth[1] to attain the understanding of the religion,[2] and to warn their community when they return to them, that they may fear?

Commentary

[1]

It is not right for all Muslims to leave their country to attain sacred knowledge as this would create severe disruption, so a small group from every large group of people should set off to attain the understanding of the religion; this small group should face the challenges of this journey to attain knowledge and then return to their communities to preach, enabling them to adhere to religious rulings.

[2]

Learning about fundamental Islamic teachings is an individual obligation (fardʿayn) for every believer. This includes learning about matters which are obligatory (fard), necessary (wājib), prohibited (mamnūʿ ), and forbidden (ḥarām) injunctions. Additional knowledge is a communal obligation (fard kifāyah). Fiqh is from the best of disciplines. Fiqh refers to the knowledge of religious rulings which is also the applied meaning too.
