Calling to Allah through stories other than the Book and the Sunnah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on calling to Allah by encouraging people with stories that are not from the Book and not from the Sunnah?

Answer:
Calling people to Allah is done through the Book and the Sunnah, not through stories, except for the stories that are found in the Book and the Sunnah, which serve to encourage and warn. As for stories, some are fictional, some are authentic, and some are not suitable for calling people to Allah.
