, I thought that I may get the idea of what I'm doing so I need to know your opinions. What would be the best way to spread knowledge? Do you 'master it first before you spread it' or 'spread the knowledge first hand so you and the other person could learn together' or just choose 'not to spread any unless someone questions you?'
I personally select 'master it first before you spread it' because I can explain the matter more adequate to another person with full detail, nothing left out Inshallah and da'wah could be sent effectively by this method.
Please Make Dua' For Samiun..

The first option of course, it's the safest option. What do you mean by the second? Like, they spread the knowledge that of which they know and learn at the same time?
Do not think of minor sins as insignificant,
for mountains are made out of pebbles...

, what I meant was a person just discovered knowledge about performing solah for example, so he/she may decide to spread some knowledge about performing solah but do not know the full overview of the subject such as the rukn for solah, the hukm for solah, how to do wudhoo and etc.

I would go for the first option. I'm not the type of person to spread knowledge unless someone is interested.
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.

That would be risky, speaking without knowledge is a serious matter, it would be best to stick to the first option methinks.

spread the knowledge first hand so you and the other person could learn together
Well, I chose the other option. I like the idea of "learning together".
If I ever come across something I think is beneficial, I am very eager to tell others about what I found. I don't think it's necessary to master the subject. If one were to wait until one obtained mastery over it, it would be a long wait indeed.
I would share what I know with others and if others know more about it, they can tell me more, so aid in increasing my knowledge. Or if what I have found is incorrect, others could tell me that it's incorrect, and still that would aid in increasing my knowledge.
Learning for me is a never ending process and I believe the more you share what you know with people, the more you get to learn. Of course, there's always the possibility that I will make mistakes. But I don't fear making mistakes. I only fear not learning from them.
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
I go with the first option, because of the same reason of sister Ghazalah. It's better to be completely confident with what you're saying and knowing the proofs correctly than to be in the doubt while spreading knowledge.
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).
Surah al-Ĥijr(The Rocky Tract) 15:98
Well, there's a problem with spreading knowledge because knowledge gain depends on the learner. All learning has to be voluntary. And no person would desire to learn if his interest is not stimulated. So if I wanted to spread knowledge, I would take steps to stir people's interest. That's it. People would then acquire knowledge on their own if they are interested enough. I prefer to do that than preach since setting a good example is such a hard thing to do!

i answer when asked questions and not before. just like anything people dont usually stay to listen to topics they dont want to know about and i dont want to offend anyone so when people ask i answer but i never push.
