Question:
The questioner asks: Do you recommend reading the books of authors and thinkers such as Sayyid Qutb and Abu al-A'la al-Mawdudi?
Answer:
We recommend reading beneficial books, the books of the scholars, the books of Islamic law that contain the rulings, so that a person learns the rulings of the Shari'ah. If he has extra time, there is nothing wrong with looking at other books for the sake of general knowledge and culture; there is no harm in that. However, limiting himself to books of thought only is not suitable for learning knowledge in the first place. He should learn the rulings of the Shari'ah that he needs and that Muslims need. If he has extra time, there is nothing wrong with him looking at other books that increase his culture and general knowledge. Yes.
