The Shaykh:
Books that contain a mix of truth and falsehood should not be read except by established scholars who can benefit from the good in them and avoid the evil in them. As for beginners in the pursuit of knowledge who cannot distinguish between good and bad statements, we advise them to avoid such books and restrict themselves to reliable books.
