Reading in the Gospel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on reading in the Holy Book, the Gospel?
Answer:
One does not read in it, and looking at it is not the same as reading. This time, looking at it is not permissible except for a scholar who is fortified in creed, in order to see the falsehood and lies attributed to Allah and His Messenger in it, for the purpose of refuting it. As for the beginner student of knowledge whose intention is to waste time and look at this, it is not permissible for him, because he may be affected by what he reads. Yes. And he does not have the knowledge to counter what he looks at. Yes.
