Is there a warning against the books of "Muhyi al-Din ibn 'Arabi" because some people glorify them and say they contain spirituality?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a questioner from France who says: I have heard from the scholars much warning against the books of Muhyi al-Din ibn 'Arabi. Are there clear errors present in them that the questioner should be warned about?

The Shaykh:
I have heard what the Shaykh quoted from al-Futuhat and al-Fusus, and there is much more in them, but the Shaykh provided examples from them.

The questioner:
He says: Because we have people who glorify them and say they contain spirituality. Should we accept their statement?

The Shaykh:
This is what we fear, so the warning of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) is beneficial for the Muslims against such people who praise them and say they contain Satanic spirituality.
