Is it permissible to read something from the Torah or the Gospel?

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: One of the shaykhs abroad mentioned something from the Torah to clarify what is in it of distortions. Is it permissible to read something from the Torah or the Gospel?

Answer:
It is not permissible to do this, because the Torah has been abrogated and ended, so it is not permissible to promote it or spread it among people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw in the hand of 'Umar some papers from the Torah, and he wanted to present them to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry with him, he became angry with him with great anger, and said: "Will you not bring it in a pure state? By Allah, if my brother Musa were alive, he would have had no choice but to follow me." So do not promote the papers of the Torah or the Gospel, because this has ended. First, it is mostly distorted, and it is not the Torah that was revealed to Musa, nor the Gospel that was revealed to 'Isa, but rather it is distorted with much distortion. Second, it is abrogated. But if a person is a practitioner who embodies the truth and wants to look into it to refute it and clarify, this is a special case. As for the general public and the general students, it is not permissible to promote the Torah or the Gospel. Yes.
