Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I read Abu 'Abdullah's Tafsir al-Jalalayn. What is the Shaykh's view (may Allah preserve him)?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with Tafsir al-Jalalayn because it is concise and good, but it contains figurative interpretation (ta'wil) of the attributes. If one is knowledgeable in 'aqidah and knows the errors in it, there is nothing wrong with benefiting from it. However, if one is an ordinary person, he should not read Tafsir al-Jalalayn because he may come across these errors and consider them correct. Yes.
