The Importance of Imam al-Shatibi's Book al-I'tisam and al-Muwafaqat

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. What is your opinion of Imam al-Shatibi's book al-I'tisam, and also his book al-Muwafaqat?

Answer:
Who am I to judge the books al-I'tisam and al-Muwafaqat? Imam al-Shatibi is a great imam, and an imam whom the scholars value and refer to. They refer to his two books, al-I'tisam and al-Muwafaqat, and benefit from them. There is no room for belittling the status of these two books or questioning al-Shatibi or his books. This is well known among the scholars, and they are two great references for the people of knowledge. Yes.
