Reading from al-Razi’s Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is there any harm in a student of knowledge reading from al-Razi’s or al-Zamakhshari’s tafsir before he has firmly established himself in 'aqidah? Because some people refer students to these works?
Answer:
Yes. The works on tafsir contain statements from the ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) school. It is not permissible for a beginner to read them, nor is it permissible for a teacher to refer students to them. Only a scholar who is well-established and knowledgeable about the errors contained in them may look at them, take the benefits from them, and leave out the errors. As for the student of knowledge and the beginner, he should stay away from them, because he may be deceived by what is in them, and the errors in them may be spread to him. Yes.
