Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question from a woman who says: Reading literary novels of various kinds has become widespread among some of the sisters. What is the ruling on reading these novels and citing the words of their authors, given that many of the authors are disbelievers or people who follow desires?
Answer:
I do not rule on these articles until I see and read them; I do not know what is in them. Yes. And hospitality. You should leave these matters and restrict yourself to what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, and the words of the scholars and the beneficial books of the scholars. Yes.
