Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, says: Does your Eminence recommend to us reading the book *Madarij al-Salikin* by Ibn al-Qayyim?
Answer:
He leaves it to you, because it contains statements that you may not understand, and Ibn al-Qayyim tries to extract it from pitfalls and from… So I do not recommend reading it to you. It contains great and very beneficial discussions. The one who reads the beneficial discussions and leaves his discussion with al-Harawi may perhaps benefit, but the one who enters into his discussion with al-Harawi will not come out with anything.
