Question:
Bandar from Makkah, please, Bandar. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. If you would please, Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe, what are the best books to read after the great Qur'an and the books of tafsir that you recommend reading to gain understanding of the religion, as in the hadith? My second question is that I have pieces of the Qur'an and the mushaf that I found lying in the street. Should I burn them or bury them, and what is better? Thank you.
Answer:
Yes, the best books after the Qur'an are Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, and the authentic books of hadith. The authentic books of the Sunnah are the best after the Qur'an among books. Then the books of the people of the Sunnah and the community, especially in matters of creed, the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community, and books of fiqh, the fiqh of the four schools of jurisprudence. These are the best books. And the Muslim should read them with the scholars of knowledge and gain understanding of them. As for the mushaf papers you found, it is obligatory for you to pick them up, either by burning them or by burying them in a pure place. Yes.
