Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are there any reliable commentaries by scholars on the book Ihya 'Ulum al-Din?
Answer:
I know of nothing in this regard except that the Imam al-'Iraqi (may Allah have mercy on him) extracted the hadiths of the Ihya. Zayn al-Din al-'Iraqi, the famous Imam, extracted its hadiths. The extraction is printed with the book. This is from the hadith perspective. As for the creedal perspective and these matters, I think al-'Iraqi did not address them. There are treatises refuting the book on the beard, including a treatise by Shaykh 'Abd al-Latif ibn 'Abd al-Rahman, which is found in al-Durar al-Saniyyah. I recall that someone wrote a master's or doctoral thesis on clarifying the errors in the book on the beard. Yes.
