Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is your opinion of the Tafsir Fath al-Qadir for a beginner student of knowledge?
Answer:
Fath al-Qadir is by al-Shawkani. It has points of criticism regarding the attributes, because he quotes from al-Zamakhshari and al-Razi without—may Allah forgive him—without verification; he transmits them with their defects and leaves them as they are. Therefore, it is not suitable for a beginner to read in it; rather, it is suitable for a student of knowledge who can distinguish between what is correct and what is wrong.
