Question:
The questioner asks: What is your opinion on reading the books of Shaykh Muhammad 'Abduh the Egyptian?
Answer:
By Allah, I do not know them, but I have heard that in his time he had excesses and ideas, because he studied under al-Afghani, Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, and he took from his liberal ideas. He has excesses and matters for which he is criticized. So I do not advise reading his books, and the beneficial books of the people of knowledge are sufficient, praise be to Allah.
