The ruling on reading the books of Muhammad Shaltut

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What Allah willed, what is the ruling on the books of Muhammad Shaltut, and do you recommend them?

Answer:
Muhammad Shaltut is a well-known Egyptian scholar, a scholar in the principles of jurisprudence and in Qur'anic exegesis, but he errs in some matters and in some of his statements. There are notes on his work, so one should take from his words what is beneficial and leave what is not beneficial. This is the concern of established students of knowledge who can distinguish error from truth. As for the beginner and the common person, he should not read in the books of this man and his like, lest he fall into error without knowing it.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
