The Opinion on a Book on the Names and Attributes of Allah

Question:
He also asks: What is your opinion regarding the book *Al-Wahy* (The Revelation) by the author of *Al-Wafa*? Some people say: I do not advise them to read some of *Al-Wafa*.

Answer:
The book is good in general, but it contains some figurative interpretations (ta'wil). It has some ta'wil, but overall there is nothing wrong with it. However, a beginner student is not permitted to read it. There are, praise be to Allah, guaranteed books that do not contain ta'wil, such as the books of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, the books of Ibn al-Qayyim, the old books of the Salaf, the books of the Sunnah, *Kitab al-Sunnah* by Ibn Abi 'Asim, *Usul Ahl al-Sunnah* by Ibn Batta, by al-'Ukbari, and many others, praise be to Allah, and *Kitab al-Shari'ah* by al-Adiri. These suffice for the book in question, which may contain some errors that only students of knowledge would notice. Yes.
