Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is your view of the one who says that the book Fath al-Bari, an explanation of Sahih al-Bukhari, is only a book of hadith and not a book of creed, so creed is taken from books of creed?
Answer:
The root of this is that he does not know the value of Fath al-Bari. He is a compound ignoramus; he does not know the value of Fath al-Bari, and how does he judge books when he does not know what they contain and what they include? His words have no standing.
