alhamdulillah
Asalamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, in the very first lesson, the shaykh mentioned that they’ve gone through the above treaties in detail before, is there any chance these were recorded? Jazakum Allah khayr
Walaykum salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,
Unfortunately there are no other recordings of the more detailed lessons, however we advise with the reading of the scholar’s books such as the explanation of the Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen for Al-Usool Ath-Thalaatha which is more detailed.
May Allah bless you
