Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : You are asking, O Shaykh (may Allah preserve you), about the book of the stories of the prophets?
Answer : The books written about the stories of the prophets are numerous. I cannot say that this specific book is [valid] until you specify the book; which one are you referring to? Because some scholars have written on the stories of the prophets and included weak and good hadiths along with authentic ones, and included Isra'iliyyat along with authentic ones. I cannot rule on that until I know the book. All right, may Allah reward you, and thank you, sister.
