Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A book titled Fath al-Hamid, an explanation of the book Tawhid by one of the grandsons of Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab, was recently published. The editor mentioned that it contains theological errors. Is what he mentioned correct? Is it recommended to read it?
Answer:
By Allah, I have not looked into it. I have not looked into this book. Yes, and I do not think it is correct that one of the grandsons of the Shaykh, or one of the Shaykh's students, would fall into theological errors. This is known. Uthman ibn Mansur was an opponent of the Shaykh, and I told you that the book al-Maqamat was a refutation of him. Yes, and the one who published this is mistaken. Why would he publish it? Yes.
