Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is your opinion of the book *Safwat al-Tafasir* by al-Sabuni, and do you advise a beginner student of knowledge to read it?
Answer:
This book was presented to the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. During the lifetime of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), he ordered the formation of committees of scholars to read it. They wrote reports about it and identified many errors in it. The book is not the words of al-Sabuni; rather, it is a compilation from books. He compiled it from books, including both the authentic and the inauthentic, without distinguishing between them. So it is a mixed compilation of authentic and inauthentic material. Yes, and I wrote notes on it. The notes were printed and are currently being distributed. Yes, notes on it.
