Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your opinion on reading from *Tafsir al-Manar*, and what is your opinion of its author in general?
Answer:
*Tafsir al-Manar* is read by one who has immunity from it, one who has scholarly immunity who knows the correct from the incorrect. As for the ignorant person, it is not permissible for him to read in it, because he enters into matters like this issue and does not know about it. Yes. And as for the author of *Tafsir al-Manar*, who is Muhammad Rashid Rida, there is much good in him, and there is much love for the Salaf and love, but he errs sometimes, especially since he was afflicted with Muhammad 'Abduh, and Muhammad 'Abduh is known to be among the people who exaggerate in magnifying rational and logical sciences and the like, so he was deceived by him.
And the man does not have much good, the one who is the owner of *al-Manar* has much good, his direction is also sound, but he may fall into errors. Yes. Yes.
