What is your opinion on Tafsir al-Jalalayn?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu Bakr asks: What is the Shaykh's opinion of the book *Tafsir al-Jalalayn*, and what are the best books of tafsir to read?

Answer:
The tafsir of al-Jalalayn is concise and beneficial, but it contains ta'wil (figurative interpretation) of the attributes. It is criticized for containing ta'wil of the attributes according to the methodology of the Asha'irah. A student of knowledge should benefit from what is in it and avoid the ta'wil of the attributes. It has been adopted in the scientific institutes and we studied it. Our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abd al-Razzaq 'Afifi (may Allah have mercy on him), has a marginal note (hashiyah) on what was adopted from it in the scientific institutes, and it is printed. Yes.
